PV2028 is the correct part number for the 5/8 bushing

To resurrect an old thread, the bottom rubber bushings on my front Pro-Comp 9000 shocks are in bad shape. Napa doesn't know from PV2028. Any suggestion where to get these bushings in Calgary? An off-road shop?

Also, should the upper bushing (pin-type mount) also be replaced? It doesn't look bad compared to the bottoms, but if I'm changing, might as well do it all.

uppers donut bushings are fine rubber/poly.

hourglass bushings are the problematic one's.

any 4x4 shop will stock them. NAPA/Lordco should have bunches of them. They are a generic eyelet shock bushing at 5/8"

The PV # is specific to procomp. If store you are shopping at does not stock Procomp shocks, they won't bring up this part number.

As a side note never install py bushings in dry, use a good quality silicone grease inside and out. Will improve life and stop the squeak.

Measure it twice, cut once. Dam still cut wrong

Good luck getting them in position without some grease anyway!

It was more a general info for poly bushings normal grease is ok but silicone grease will protect and lube better
