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.

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
