Better bushings?

[Dawnnira]

2015 BH 3685RL-were in our second camping season and I recently noticed when I repacked my bearing and changed the seals that our transversed mounted shocks on our axles have rubber bushings that are showing quite the wear and tear. I know the shocks are fine, but I'm worried about the bushings deterioating furthur. Has anyone had the same situation and has anyone found better/blue neoprene shock bushings?

Yes, the bushings wear out REALLY fast. If you just want to replace the bushings, buy the polyurethane type because they will last a long time. I bought mine from Summit Racing, but I don't have the size handy.

They applications for rv suspension at Summit? Or do I need to get some kind of numbers off the shocks?

You can take the measurements from an old bushing and base your search on that. These are pretty much standard type bushings.

I had to get a set in Black and Red since they did not have enough black ones.
