Prothane Polyurethane Rear Spring & Shackle Bushings Kit
For 1979–1983 Toyota Pickup
Overview
Restore your Toyota Pickup's rear suspension with the Prothane Polyurethane Rear Leaf Spring Eye & Shackle Bushings Kit, designed for 1979–1983 Toyota Pickup 2WD and 4WD models. This direct-fit replacement kit replaces worn factory rubber bushings with high-performance polyurethane to improve suspension stability, axle control, and long-term durability.
As original rubber bushings age, they begin to crack, compress, and deteriorate, allowing excessive movement in the rear leaf springs and shackles. This can lead to poor handling, inconsistent ride quality, and accelerated suspension wear. Prothane polyurethane bushings are engineered to resist oil, grease, road salt, moisture, and UV exposure while maintaining their shape under heavy loads and demanding driving conditions.
Ideal for restorations, daily drivers, and off-road builds, this kit provides a long-lasting suspension upgrade that delivers improved performance without compromising reliability.

Choose the finish that best complements your build.
Black Polyurethane
Provides a clean, factory-inspired appearance that blends seamlessly with OEM suspension components.
Red Polyurethane
Features Prothane's signature performance appearance for enthusiasts who prefer a more noticeable suspension upgrade.
Both black and red bushings are manufactured from the same premium Prothane polyurethane and provide identical fitment, performance, durability, and resistance to oil, chemicals, moisture, and UV exposure. The only difference is color.
Why Upgrade to Polyurethane?
Unlike factory rubber bushings that soften and deteriorate with age, polyurethane bushings maintain their strength and shape under load. This helps reduce suspension deflection, improves rear axle control, and provides significantly longer service life, making them an excellent upgrade for both restoration and performance-minded Toyota Pickup owners.
