Leaf Spring Bushings

[Archive]

Does the leaf spring bushings wear out? And if they do, what would the effects be. I have been dealing with bounce coming from the rearend. When I hit a bump, there is 3-4 quick bounces,then it seams that the shocks take over. I have new Rancho rsx17000 shocks all around. If the bushings have worn out, wouldnt there be enough play to cause this type of symptom? I bought the truck used and in its life it has been used to haul heavy stuff in the bed.
Thanks for the information. .
