Do Trailer Leaf Springs All Have Bushings
Question:
first time to do this replacement, but I noticed the video on your site did not use any bushings. I have not even took mine apart so I do not know if it ha bushings or not. Is it normal for two axle livestock trailer hale] mfg. in 70s to have bushings or is their even room for a bushing? This old trailer is used no more than twice ayear or less than 200 miles/yr. I just want to make it stable, not anything long lasting, I am 73 years old,lol

Most trailer leaf springs will have a bushing in the eyes of the spring. It is interesting that the install video we have for the wet bolt part # 126B2 that you referenced does not have a bushing involved at all. In reality all that really matters is that the diameter of the bolt matches the eye diameter. Which in this case would mean it would need to be 9/16 inch in diameter.
