Which end of the spring? The shackle bushings (rear) are the same as big cars... I replaced these with polygraphite bushings on my 71. The front bushings are still original.

Time for both, fronts look hoged, 'acceleration hogged' and of the shackle while still being good will get updated with the poly whatever new 'good' stuff' I am also rebuilding the front, ideler, tie rods, pitman etc. I have the time and funds to update to poly bushings and can only imagine the difference that will come about with a freash suspension. But what appear to be the nightmare stuff are the front A Arms and the rear leaf bushings.
