I bought a shackle bushing set from Year One part # FJ362 I have included pic below which shows that the replacement is quite a bit larger and is not going in unless cut down. Any tips? Thanks Dan ps it is for 1964-1973 mustang but was told this would work on Mavericks
original is 1".... new ones are 1.25" too small to be for front, the are around 2".. should have included measurements in my post. Dan
The Mustangs had larger rear bushings. I found this out about 12 years ago when I ordered Mustang polyurethanes to put in mine. They didn't have them for Mavericks yet then. I put them in a lathe and turned them down, but I don't think that will help with rubber bushings.
shackle bushings Dan I too had the same problem. waaaaayyyy too big. Turned belt sander on it's back and made them the right size. Planned to do this job and got it done same day, regardless...........mac
To revive an old thread... So the consensus is that a Mustang shackle kit (shackles/bolts/bushings) will work for a Mav if they're turned down a skosh?
Glad you resurrected this thread!!!!!! When I bought my 4 leafs from JCW, the rear spring eye was larger than stock. I used my old bushings and they worked, but they are too small. Now I know what I need. I had forgotten all about them until now. It could also explain why I had major wheel hop problems at the Roundup last year. Too much play in the bushings. I will have to pick up a new set at Carlisle.
