by Scott Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:55 pmAdjusting the screw helped, but I think what I really need is new leaf-spring bushings, and maybe a stabilizer shock on the steering. I don't remember what they are called. That may help make it feel a little more stable. Also, the Swaybar currently hanging in the garage, and some fresh shocks. So I guess I've got a long list of stuff to do to clean-up the floating I feel driving down the freeway.

Hey Scott, I surely pressed in some fancy new spring bushing cartridges and some fresh HB 930 rubber shackle bushings in Mauro's 69 Chevy van last week,,,,,

Thanks Donivan,
Do you know if the 2nd Gen. Spring Bushings are the same all the way around?
And is HB930 the part number?
Do the parts stores have our bushing listed right, or is this another part that we need to know the manufacture and part number?

The forward sections of the springs are the metal type,,,,,the shackles are these Harris HB 930,,,,they are not the same size,,,,4 rubber bushings per spring,,,,I won't have the metal ones part number until Mauro gets back from vacation,,,,,

You can put a jack on top of the springs and jack it up about 1/4" and then remove the shackle without killing yourself to see what the condition of the bushings and bolts are,,,,and you could put in these red teflon bushings with a sleeve instead of the metal ones,,,,,

Oh sweet, thanks Donivan..
Now I just have to spend the money.
So, the first and second gens use the same spring bushings? Do I just trim them to fit?

The bushings are for the 3" wide 2nd Gen springs,,,,1st Genners need to trim them down to fit their 2" wide springs,,,,,,,
