greaseable bushing bolt strength

[K5Chris]

has anybody had any problems with the strength of greaseable bushing bolts?

i'm fing tired of the squeek squeek squeek..... i put brand new bushings in my new front springs and lubed em up good with poly grease, and they still squeek like a bitch. any suggestions?

where would be a good (cheap) place to get some decent bushings for rear 56's?

I got a set for the front from ORD. They work great and completely got rid of the squeak.

If you tell me what the diameter of the hole in the center of the bolt is i can tell you the strength difference between the greasable and the regular grade 8.

i have herd of a couple of guys here that have broken a greaseable bolt, but it isnt a common problem. either there springs hit the frame from poor geometry and broke a bolt or they were flexed hard, probably with no limiting straps as to not over tweak the suspension, and broke one that way. i bought the ORD hd shackle kit with greasable bolts after i read that a couple people had broke them simply cause it does not seem to be a common problem. just my .02cents.

i just remembered something..... my dynomax headers are real close to my shackles..... i had to cut my current bolts down so they dont hit the headers. i dont think i can run those greaseable frront shackles at the rear spring eye bushing. guess i just need to slather them up with a whole lotta poly grease.

i found these from daystar last night. http://www.suspensionconnection.com/cgi-bin/suscon/KG61001G1.html
just another option. they look pretty strong.

ORD bushings are Daystar.

I'm running Dynomax headers and greasable shackles. So far, so good. It is real close, but they haven't hit yet during moderate wheeling.

ORD bushings are Daystar.

yeah i know but the shackle is different........ and so is the price.

3/8" x 2" flat stock will make you some, not only cheaper, but any length you want too.
