suspension bushings

I have been working on these off and on for the last few days, And wow what a difference. The whole jeep has a tighter feel, and rides a little smoother as well. My old bushings was shot. Any of you guys out there that is in the same boat I was with wore out bushings Take a look at these.

one of the first things I do with a used buggy is change all of the wear parts especially suspension bushings

 

Prothane, Energy Suspension, etc. all good. They do make a difference. Make sure you use silicone grease on installation or they will squeak. I started using polyurethane bushings because I was wearing out rubber several times a year. After the switch I didn't have to change them out any sooner than once a year at the most. Usually they lasted two years. The last set have been in for almost 13 years.

I have the same Prothane bushing kit but my front shackle mounts are threaded? Will the threads eat into the new bushings?

 

Yes and you won't have room to install poly bushings. You would need to convert to "H" style shackles for these bushings. If your threaded style shackles and bushings are in good shape, they work quite well. If they are worn out then a good time to convert.
