Weel now is the time for some information. My Rubber spring bushings are pretty much gone and I need to replace them. I've ordered some at the local nissan dealer but they are on back order. I would like to replace them with anything that is avaliable on the market just so furhter damage won't be done, so... does anyone know of any replacements for the ome spring bushings?

On OEM Patrol shackles there are no rubber bushings, only the metal bushings. Even when you get replacement kits (from OZ) the poly bushings are only for the inner hanger. That's why the stock shackles are greaseable.

The fixed side of the leaf spring is rubber (actually a metal bushing encased in rubber with an outer metal jacket). The shackle side is all metal so you have to grease them constantly. Part numbers: Rubber Bushing (fixed pivot of leaf spring): 55045-07200 Metal Bushing: 55046-00902 Front and Rear springs use the same. Both bushings are 5/8" i.d.
