Front Spring Bush Advice Please

[pugslyyy]

Firstly I would guess a few places, I got mine from SSA in Brisbane. http://ssa.com.au when I got the front springs replaced. Another place we tried, but didn't do them was Carroll springs. Could also try DKSP http://www.donkyattqld.com.au/mitsubishi-fuso-canter/fg649-6-0t-10-2002-11-2007/suspension

Brett's mentioned earlier in this thread maybe of assistance as well.

Where does the grease come out of the greasable pins? I'm assuming in the middle, but is it just a hole bored through or something more than that?

The one's I've seen have two exit holes equadistant from the ends. I haven't seen any for a Fuso yet. Couldn't see any at Brett's.

Bushes from Brett's arrived today. Shipped from Australia 7/25. Arrived in Denver 7/28. Won't have opportunity to install them for a few months.

amazing how quick it is, I was impressed with my order - sure makes me more willing to look at ordering from Australia in the future.

That's what I was thinking, I just didn't know if they put a channel in as well. I've already put mine back together so not going to mess with it now, but next time I pull them off I might add the grease fittings on. I'm getting ready to add grease fittings to my drag link ball joints. The dust boots I ordered look like they will work just fine. They are a tiny bit loose on the large end, but I am going to crimp it on with a metal zip tie

I agree. Idon't think it's worth you pulling it apart but since I haven't done mine yet I thought I'd look around the net for greasable ones. No luck yet. Maybe I'll shoot an e-mail to Brett's to see if they have any. I don't see any on the website.

Brett's doesn't sell greasable shackle pins for an FG.

I would just drill my own anyways.

I haven't been able to find that. Do you have a link? I couldn't find them on the SSA page. I sent them an e-mail.

mine came from ATW, good to know they may be more common.

I looked as well but didn't find anything listed for Fusos. Probably not enough volume to be a priority to include on their website.
