Can Bushings in Equalizer # TREQE34 be Easily Replaced
Question:
My trailer currently has this style on it from the factory its a recreational travel trailer and the plastic bushings are worn out. Im interested if the plastic bushings or sleeves are easily removable and if the never fail bushings you sell will fit in their place. I would like to improve the setup without spending a lot of money because mine is worn out and I dont think I can get the bushings out its like theyre stuck.

Considering that there is a lot of pressure on any bushings used in a suspension system it is no surprise they are stuck. And it will likely happen again. Bushings in Curved Equalizer # TREQE34 can be removed. The easiest way on it or any equalizer with bushings is to use one of the same size to drive out the old one so you are basically removing the old one and installing a new one at the same time (provided the one being installed doesn't somehow break in the process).
You can use Never Fail bushings # LC279684 as long as no grease is used. Even if you have wet bolts do not use any grease with the Never Fail bushings because that could cause them to degrade.
