R110 Spring bushings

I have hunted around a while trying to find leaf spring bushings to replace my very tired bushings. I haven't come up with any thing. Could someone point me in the right direction? Are they just ones I can get from Napa or Auto zone?
Thanks in advance

Harris HB851, HB854. Three packages of each for a total rebuild. Google can find a vendor for you.

If you are interested in buying and installing spring bushings that will perform better and last 10 times longer, you can try https://www.energysuspensionparts.com/catalog.asp
Our L110 will be using Energy bushings.

I would use rubber. I have used energy bushings with their lube and after awhile they squeak. then you have to relube them.

my preference only. not starting a debate.

Re: R110 Spring bushings

I understand the debate threat. If you were to carve chunks of wood and make them fit, I would like to know how that worked for you.
I made bushing from Delrin and they lasted for 20 years and 225,000 miles on an R120. You would know for sure where the squeaks your came from. I on the other hand may not hear anything in the mix of a Cummins rattle and Old IHC chassis music. I have tinnitus and I may not be able to hear the squeaks. This may be the only good thing about getting old. Well, farting a lot is lots of fun.
