Front spring shakle bushings

[RDBuck]

Is there a bushing where the rear shakle on the front spring goes thru the frame? I can see the edges of what looks like a rubber bushing but my local dealer can not find anything in the parts book. I get a clunk from that area in a hard turn at crawl speed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks to all the replys on changing from 2 1/2" to 3" rear brakes on my 92.

Yes there is a rear bushing in the front leaf springs. It has 3 rivets holding to the frame and a through bolt to the spring. It you need to replace it the rivets come off easly with a cold chisel and a BFH #ad
, and bolt the new one on. I bought mine from a local off road shop when I did my 4X4 conversion.
