Comparing Never-Fail System Or System With Brass Bushings And Wet bolts For Trailer Suspension
Question:
I am trying to decide between Never Fail bushings with heavy duty shackles and bronze bushings with wet bolts and heavy duty shackles. Which would you recommend?

That is a tough question to answer.
The Never-Fail system like part # LC281285 uses a bushing that is made of a polyamide material that is heat-resistant and never wears out.
You can use a system like part # K71-358-00 with brass bushings and wet bolts which also reduce wear but can be a little more labor-intensive.
I do not have any test cases comparing these two products but for my money I would go with the Never-Fail system because of the busing material and not having to worry about wear.
