I have replaced the rear bushings on the leaf springs but the front are gone also where can I find the bushings for the front of the springs they look to made a little different and I cant seem to pull up the right ones on the few web sites I have checked...thanks for any help

edited to correct 2nd part#

ASA shows three part #'s:
for upper in the rear MB584531
for lower in the rear MB584530
for the front MB111203

Plug in the above part numbers to www.mitsubishiparts.net under the "search by part number" tab.

One of those 3 is no longer available in the US if I remember correctly - or there were very limited numbers. I had the guys at JNZ get them for me.

I can get the bushing from advance autoparts but they are the cheap rubber type, would love to find polyurethane type but have not had any success finding them these from advance are to soft and they dont last long, I have changed the rear sets and I am fixing to do the front of the leaf springs they are the ones making the most noise, when they get wore or tore they start hitting metal to metal and it sounds like you got serious front end problems when its the leaf spring bushings in the back, I thought for months I had idler arm or A-arm bushing problems, got my Dad to drive across some 2x4 studs while I listened and it was in the back of the vehicle..thanks for the help with parts and if anyone knows where to get the polyurethane bushings let me know thanks

AH! Sorry - I didn't realize that's what you were looking for. I felt the same, but figured I'd have to go custom made to get poly bushings, so I just put in OEM ones, and bought an extra set while I was at it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yep I would love to find some poly but had no luck heck I cant even find the bushing for the front of the leaf spring the hole in the leaf spring is larger and the rear bushings will not work in the front their to small got a call out to JNZ see if they can get right ones..thanks

Yeah, even the back 2 (upper and lower) are different size (length if I remember correctly). The fronts are absolutely different.

If they can be found, JNZ will get them. They got me a rear leaf spring / shock mount bracket from Japan. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Pretty sure I used OME bushings when I installed their springs in my '88.

thank you for the web site JNZ got them coming, your right about sizes the rear upper are longer than the rear lower but you can use them by cutting them shorter and they will work for the lower part of the shackle but on the front of the spring you have to have a bigger diameter bushing because the eye of the leaf spring is larger...thanks again for the web site I prolly be ordering more parts from them, guy I talked to was super nice, everyone I talked to here in Alabama said they couldn't find the ones for the front anywhere in the country..JNZ was looking at 300 of them for the front of the springs in less than 30 seconds ...thanks again
