    I am replacing all my bushings. All my bushings are 3/4 in diameter EXCEPT the rear spring on the hanger side, it measures about 5/8". Does anyone have the part number for these?

    This is the part number for rear spring bushing. 359039
    Appears to be 3/4 od and 1/2 ID like the rest.

    Aren't all the spring hanger bolts 9/16"? 359039 bushings are 9/16" ID x 3/4" OD. And it should be noted that most aftermarket springs I have encountered use 7/8" ID spring eyes on both ends.

    I wish I could post pictures. I bought the daystar kit using 2 piece bushings and another kit that uses 1 piece bushings. Both say they fit 41-74 jeeps, but like I said above they do not fit one end on my rear springs. It's been a while since I took them off the Jeep, I seem to recall they were thick copper bushings because they were a bit egged out.
