Lozer Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hey goon peoples, I need leaf spring bushings bad. What are people using I searched and came up with a lot of nothing. On a side note how many people need them? If I have some made ill do a whole run. Quote Link to comment
Rob_the_Goonster Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 ill double check tomorrow but i think i used some 720 leaf spring bushings in mine Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 55045-22900 fronts are also used in the 610, 810 and the A10 wagons 55046-22900 top rear are also used on the 610 710,810 and A10 wagons as well as the 710 sedans. 55047-22900 bottom rear also used on the 610 710,810/Maxima and A10 wagons as well as the 710 sedans. Lots of different rubbers can probably be made to work. Do not use polly. Only rubber grips both moving parts and gives in the middle. Polly is too firm and one surface will always slip. This always leads to wear and ovaling and the inevitable squeaks. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rob_the_Goonster Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 hey mike do you know if any other datsuns have the same axle bearing as a 72 wagon? i had a hell of a time running down some just to mock up a disc brake conversion, but now i found out my 70 goon has a bad axle bearing :( sooo yeah any info from the master would be much appreciated :thumbup: also didnt mean to change thread topic!

datzenmike Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 The latest use (I can find) of that bearing #43215-H5000 is on the '99 and on Xterra/Pathfinder side shaft on the front differential. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lozer Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Those part numbers are no longer available from Nissan or courtesy Nissan. Thanks tho Mike.Did u end up using 720 bushings Rob. Crap Im gonna pull mine and measure everything. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I used a set I found on Ebay. Not OEM though. As far as the bearing. Every parts store lists it. Get the timkens, they are sealed. RW114R rockauto has them fairly cheap. Quote Link to comment
Lozer Posted December 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 after much measuring hemming and hawing I ended up ordering poly as i'm ditching the leafs eventually for a sub frame set up (pipe dreams right) I ordered ES #3.2125 for the eyelet and Prothane # 14-1001 for the shackle I will update when parts are in and ive confirmed fitment.
