Wow,
You all are awesome! That is it, spring seat with rubber bushings. Anyone know where I can get the rubber bushing or other accessories for the spring seat? All the aftermarket vendors I have checked don't show it (LMC, Brothers, Jim Carter, Classic Parts)
The truck is a 54 chevy 1/2 ton
You can Revulcanize them (You send in your spring seats and they put in new rubber) at
Steele Rubber Pricey.
Or press
THESE into the
Spring Seat cast metal housing. Affordable
While you have it all apart you should replace the
Rubber Washer Spring Seat Seals. 2 per spring seat.
Once you replace the springs seats you have to seat them.
Spring Seat seating instructions on page 2, Read "Adjust this type of Seat as follows":
Page 1 Page 2First you have to find out if they are bad.
Is there any noise or sloppiness in the axle to spring seat connection?
