I need to replace my rear spring plate bushings. I had the red poly ones in my old buggy and they squeaked like mad. Do they make better ones that don’t squeak? I found some rubber ones but they want $80 a side

You still running air bags or do you have torsion springs?

Get the YELLOW ones from McKenzies or SACO. They are way better than the red poly bushings. Coat them with the break in grease you get with them.

I’m running stock dual spring plate torsion with sway away bars. What do I need they have 2”, 1-7/8”, and 1-3/4” sizes listed on Saco? They also list them as Flange, Knobby or Round and the 2” are red. I haven't had time to pull it apart yet thats why I ask.
