The design and composition of the shackle hanger and bushing material can make all the difference to your ride quality.
Leaf spring based suspension set ups generally have a bias leaning towards load carrying capability over ride quality.
This assembly is the spring’s first part to move in response to uneven terrain and bumps in the road.
URETHANE PRODUCTS
Tough Dog urethane is stronger than rubber
components and has greater longevity and resistance to
deterioration from chemical exposure. When required,
steel tubes in the centre of the bush are hardened and
chemically treated to resist corrosion.
Replacement urethane bushes are available for all Tough
Dog leaf springs as well as for a range of other
suspension bushing locations in vehicles.
Tough Dog also have a range of coil spring spacers to
assist in levelling and trimming live axle coil vehicles.
Poured as a single piece urethane, Tough Dog spring
spacers are available in various heights, depending on
the vehicle and application.
