Iv searched and nothing on this. I am replacing my leaf bushings apparently. Now, when I search, like everybody, polyurethane bushings come up. Stock bushings have (from inside to out) bolt, inside sleeve, rubber bushing, outer sleeve, leaf. You cant really see the inner sleeve in the picture but it is there. Do I remove the outer sleeve for new bushings or do these poly bushings fit into this outer sleeve or just into the spring. I notice that these aftermarket bushings dont come with sleeves. What comes to play when I go to replace these bushings

The poly bushings replace the stock 3 pieces.
The biggest challenge is getting the old one out.
Over time the outer sleeve rusts to the spring real good.
A BFH and torch will help.

stock 3 peices as in>? inner sleeve, bushing, outer sleeve?

your sayin it all gets removed for poly bushings and poly bushings dont use these sleeves?

Just grease em.

Burn the old bushing out, a chisel end works pretty good for cutting the sleeve out.
