Leaf Corolla spring saddle insulator rubbers?where to get??

[Aust162]

Hi everyone, not too sure what the correct name is, but i would like to replace the leaf spring pack insulators (the rubbers that fit between the u-bolt mount plate,the leaves and locate on the king pin) on the back of my corolla panelvan. KE70.

I have seen a corolla somewhere on this site (ke25? maybe) with shiny red (urethane) insulators. I want these because it will make my car look cool because they are red and you can see them when you drive behind me..... (im kidding. my rubber ones are perished badly)

I have contacted so far, pedders, superpro, ironman 4x4 and nolathane with no luck!

On the Nolathane/redranger website they do make leaf spring insulators, none specific to a corolla though and according to the measurements on the site they do not have any that will suit

check here:
http://www.nolathane.com.au/catsize_search.php bushes no# 14 are the insulators

springs are 51mm wide, so need I.D measurements of the insulators as close to that as possible (51-53mm?). length is 115mm, O.D of insulator is 63mm.


Any tips, info, links appreciated. Hopefully someone on here with an old corolla know what im talking about!

I did some googling (i'm bored at work) and found this place: http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/

they have: N71676 Spring bushes urethane - re shackle - van/wagon

these people also say they have them (or something that sounds like it): http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/i...owtopic=439592

I have no idea if these guys are trustworthy, but hopefully this is of some help.

Hey Dangerous Beans, thanks for the heads up. but unfortunately they are only listing shackle and eye bushes that i could see? no spring pack insulators.

Today i went to the wreckers and grabbed some insulators from an rt104 corona. same exact size etc and in a lot better nick than my old ones! These will have to do for now, need the car up and running again.
