Rear Hangers in Trailer Suspension Kit # APS4 Do Not have Bushings
Question:
Does the rear hanger require a bushing or should the bolt just snug against the links and bracket.I am using pr4b springs.This kit has no bushing in it,I see others do.Thank you for your help.

The trailer suspension hanger kit # APS4 does include hangers that do not have bushings like you said. Adding bushing definitely would not hurt if they will fit. The bolts are 9/16 inch which is what the holes in the hangers accept. There likely isn't space for a bushing. The other issue is that there are no bushing we carry that have a 9/16 inch outer diameter (which would then require a smaller bolt). You will want to make sure the hangers without the bushings are well lubricated using grease such as # L11380.
