Need a little help. What is the part called that goes between the helper spring and the regular spring on the RC on the rear leaf springs. It's the rubber piece at the front of the springs. My top shock bolt snapped again and it has caused these to be crushed. Also, any better replacements besides caltracs which I would love???
 
Anyone know?

Bumping an old thread, because I need a new bushing on my RC driver's side. Old one is all rotted out. Anyone know? Would replace both with poly, if possible.

I could use 2 news ones myself. I'll be following this along to see where to get a replacement
 
Let me check with my parts guy and see if they are available.
 
I just ordered 2 of those from my Dodge dealer, mine were disintegrating. $95 for two of the bushings. I had him come out and look to be sure we ordered the correct part and he said that was them. He said about a week to get in.

Any idea on the part number? Any help is greatly appreciated!!
 
I got two from Tony in like new condition back then. They still look great. And way cheaper than $95.
 
Update guys...Energy Suspension Part # 9-9143R...Available at summit or any Energy Suspension retailer...They are a touch longer, which is good because I think they should be a little longer than stock being that most/ or maybe all don't touch the top spring while sitting...I understand they probably do under slight axle load but I also think the helper spring snubber/bushing could benifit being a little taller...I'm gunna trim a 1/ 4 inch at a time...factory worn our cracked rubber covered foam seem to measure roughly 2 3/4, these are 3 inch..Round 30$ for the set minus fastners, I'm gunna use some stainless torx head screws and lock nuts..I'll update once I get them on and post a screw length and size..
