Rear Spring Leaf Bushing Replacements

[K0PIR]

I took my H3 in to have the rear leaf spring shackles replaced with extended shackles. The shop told me they couldn't get the bolt out of the drivers side spring leaf, it was frozen in and they said they couldn't get a bushing for the spring leaf. They would have to replace the spring leaf???

The part number I'm looking at is
BUSHING, RIGHT - 2006 HUMMER H3 (14027938)
BUSHING, LEFT - 2006 HUMMER H3 (14027938)

But, this looks like it may be the bushing for frame mount and not the bushing that goes in the spring leaf. Are they one in the same or different?


Thanks!

Thanks but, it doesn 't look like they have anything for the H3.

Thanks, I ordered (2) rear to frame and (2) rear rear just in case they have to be burned out.

The rear front won't have to be touched and look to be in good condition.

Thanks again!

Not sure I'd buy anything from Russia . . . .

Here is my credit card number comrade . . . and feel free to hack my computer while you're at it.

Might have to drop the fuel tank. The genius engineers at GM put the front spring bolt in backwards on the assembly line. So you have to cut the old bolt with a sawzall or drop the tank. When you put it back together...insert the bolt from the outside in (like it should have been).

They have PayPal option which is more than secure...as well that's why ur credit card has protection...c'mon now it is not the early 2000's anymore.

The Rockauto catalog only seems to list the rear spring bushings if you put in 2006 model year, though it applies to all model years for the H3.

Or just order it off Amazon, I got their steering rack bushings off Amazon for about the same price plus it was prime 2 day shipping. But yeah, you're just as likely to have your credit card stolen off a US website as you are a Russian site most likely.

Looked and they are available on Amazon. Result! Expensive though - over $30 each vs. roughly $10 - $15 for rubber bushes from RA. Might just get a set.

I just went ahead and ordered the PU Bushing 32-06-1707 Rear Susp. From Amazon each $25.99 not bad prime shipping as well.

Yeah I see that on the front bolts. Even on the rear it looks the same, the nuts are on the outside, so it looks like the muffler has to be disconnected and lowered to get the bolts out.

I'm glad it's just the rear being done.

The polyurethanes are a little pricey but factor in the durability and longevity of them and the PITA process of replacing bushings, the cost becomes irrelevant.

I'll drag this thread back from the dead.... according to RockAuto, the Hummer bushing interchanges with all these

CHEVROLET	BLAZER	1995-2005
CHEVROLET	S10 PICKUP	1995-2004
GMC	JIMMY	1995-2005
GMC	SONOMA	1995-2004
HUMMER	H3	2006-2010
ISUZU	HOMBRE	1996-2000
OLDSMOBILE	BRAVADA	1996-2004

Please refer to catalog for application details.

and the reason for dragging it back was the really neat information about bushing sizes on the 1st page of this.... a worthy thread to revive IMO

That's one feature on Rock Auto's site that I really like - being able to see what other vehicles run that same part

That way when the local shop says they don't have anything for the H3T I give them those vehicles and all of a sudden they have the right parts in stock! (sometimes for even less $$)
