Hi, I have to replace my shocks eyelet bushing.
My shocks are walker evans and I contacted his aftersales...they didn’t provide me any help in order to place an order for the service kit.

Is there anyone that can help me to understand what kind of bushing should I buy?
Honestly I don’t looking for the WE bushing, also I different brand that it is fitting with my eyelet it could be fine.

My bigger trouble is that my JK is a daily car and I can’t stop it. I would like to buy in advance the spare part and replace the old one after that.

Any suggestion is welcome! IMG_3694.jpg

Are you sure the bushings are bad? Looking at the pic, it looks okay to me. Otherwise, assuming what you have are just standard 5/8" hourglass bushings, I would imagine you could just by something like this.

Thanks for the feedback!

Pushing up and down on the rear bumper it is easy to see that the eyelet has some play between shaft and bushing...due to that I’m assuming that the bushing failed...

Eddy, you where right! After your post I disassembled the shock and I discovered that it was not properly tightened...

I checked also the other three and I found also one shock in the front out of torque...

Is it possibile that now with the right torque ( in the front) I reduced also some vibrations in the steering wheel?

Thanks!!!
