Leaf Spring and Trailer Suspension Bushings
Leaf spring bushings and trailer suspension bushings help control movement, absorb road vibration and protect connected metal components from wear. They are important in commercial vehicles, trailers, agricultural equipment and heavy-duty suspension systems.
What to Check Before Selecting a Bushing
Confirm the bore diameter, outside diameter, overall length, flange profile, sleeve design, rubber hardness and service conditions. High loads, repeated articulation and exposure to dust or water should be considered during material selection.
Custom Manufacturing for OEMs
Maurflex manufactures bushings to drawings, samples and technical specifications. Accurate dimensions and material requirements help achieve repeatable fitment and dependable performance.
Common Leaf Spring Bushing Designs
Leaf spring bushings are not all constructed in the same way. Buyers may encounter metal-encased rubber bushes, flanged metal-encased designs and rubber bushes without an outer metal casing. Identify the original construction before selecting a replacement. A similar outside shape does not confirm that two parts have the same fitment or operating requirements.
Dimensions and Application Details for a Quotation
For a leaf spring rubber bushing enquiry, provide a drawing or reference part number together with the following information:
- Bore diameter and outside diameter, with the measurement units clearly stated.
- Rubber body length, inner sleeve length and outer sleeve length where applicable.
- Flange diameter and thickness for a flanged design.
- Mounting position, such as the spring eye or shackle location, and the vehicle or suspension model.
- Specified compound, hardness and drawing tolerances, if available.
- Operating conditions, required quantity and whether the order is for an individual bush or a complete set.
For trailer leaf spring bushings, include the trailer and suspension details rather than relying on a photograph alone. If a dimension is unknown, identify it as unconfirmed so it can be reviewed before manufacture.

Leaf Spring Bushing Selection Questions
Are all leaf spring bushings interchangeable?
No. Match the reference drawing, dimensions, mounting position and application requirements. Do not select a bush solely because it looks like the original part.
Should measurements be supplied in millimetres or inches?
Either can be stated in an enquiry, but label every dimension and use a consistent unit system. Make any conversion explicit so a number is not interpreted in the wrong units.
What if I do not have a part drawing?
Share a reference number, clear photographs, available measurements and application details. Ask which further information or physical sample is required to confirm the specification.
