Polyurethane Leaf Spring Bushing Set for Suzuki Samurai – Red
A complete set of red polyurethane bushings for every leaf spring mounting point on a Suzuki Samurai: 4 large chassis-side bushings, 8 small shackle-side bushings and 4 metal inner sleeves. It removes the fore-and-aft axle play behind rut wander and clunks on pull-away.
Polyurethane Leaf Spring Bushing Set for Suzuki Samurai – Red
A Samurai rides on leaf springs, and every leaf spring meets the chassis and the shackles through a bushing. Once those bushings are worn, the axle starts moving fore and aft: the car wanders in ruts, the front hunts for a line under braking, and pulling away with a trailer brings that familiar clunk. It all sounds like a serious suspension fault, while the cause costs a fraction of a set of springs.
This set renews the bushings at every leaf spring mounting point on the car – the large ones on the chassis side and the small ones at the shackles. Polyurethane holds its shape better than tired rubber and is not destroyed by grease or by the water a Samurai collects at every crossing.

Key benefits
- Covers the whole vehicle – 4 large bushings on the chassis side and 8 small ones at the shackles, front and rear.
- Four metal inner sleeves for the large bushings are included, so you are not forced to reuse worn parts from the strip-down.
- Polyurethane in place of perished rubber cuts fore-and-aft axle movement, so the car holds its line instead of hunting over bumps.
- The material copes with what a Samurai actually meets: water, mud and grease.
What is in the box

Who it is for – for any Samurai whose spring bushings have not been touched in years, and as a matter of course when fitting new leaf springs or a lift kit. A new spring sitting in a tired bushing never works as intended, and the price of a bushing set is nothing next to stripping the suspension a second time.
Installation notes
Old bushings usually have to be pressed or burned out, and shackle bolts seize after years of salt – budget time and penetrating fluid. The easiest moment to do the job is while the springs are already off the car. If you would rather hand it over, Szekla4x4 runs its own off-road workshop.
Why it is worth it
- Inexpensive parts that make a real difference to how the car behaves on road and off it.
- One set finishes the whole suspension – not a single mounting point is left on an old bushing.
- The natural companion to a lift kit or a set of new leaf springs.
If the springs are coming off anyway, do the bushings in the same session – there is no sense in taking the suspension apart twice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is one set enough for the whole vehicle?
Yes. It contains 4 large chassis-side bushings and 8 small shackle-side bushings, covering every leaf spring mounting point.
Do I need to buy the metal sleeves separately?
No. Four metal sleeves for the large bushings are included.
Which model does it fit?
Suzuki Samurai – the model stated in the specification table for this part number.
Should the bushings be replaced when fitting a lift?
Yes. New springs in worn bushings never work properly, and stripping the suspension a second time costs more than the bushing set itself.
