I'm restoring an old John Deere tagalong trailer,and trying to find spring bushings.Having worked on trucks,tractors,and trailers all my life,I thought it would not be too hard to find what I needed.Truck spring shops are NOT what they used to be.I tried the usual ones near me,that I've dealt with for 40 years.No go,if I can't give them an application they can't find it.They have told me though that they could have the bushings custom made by size.16 of them times $58.each is kind of out of the question.It has been suggested to make them out of UHMW,(polyurethane)as the off road boys use it for that.Does anybody know how it holds up long term?
