Title: Rubber Bushings for 47 Kaiser Suspension System
Post by: Jerry Wilbeck on August 17, 2016, 11:00:41 AM

Does anyone have some NOS or replacement rubber bushings for a 47 Kaiser Suspension system?

Which bushing? Where is it located?

Hello Rialto,
I haven't determined all the locations, part numbers or descriptions.  But, I assume that all the control arms, spring shackles, and the "other" rubber bushings in the front suspension system are probably all dried and worn after the car has been driven and sitting the past 69 years.  I can probably use the parts manuals and provide a set of numbers and descriptions if that would assist you.

Kaisers don't have a lot of rubber bushings like a modern car. Front sway bar bushings and rear leaf spring shackle bushings are about all there are. Front suspension bushings are steel trunions with grease fittings.

Thanks Rialto,
I'll see what I can do to replace the rubber parts and go from there.
Have a nice day,
Jerry
