RE: [T3] rear suspension needs help


This sounds suspiciously like a bushing from a regular
'merican vehicle leaf springs.  Metal tube pair with
rubber in between.  If hard to find, check shops that
specialize in automotive springs.  They have loads of
sources for bushings.  I had my trucks springs re-bushed
last year, so spent some time with such parts.

The Z-spring pivot is a metal/rubber/metal assembly.  It slides out of the
pivot bore.  It really isn't too complex, just a turned part with O.D. and
I.D. interference fit.  Unfortunately, I just quit my job that gave me
unlimited access to a lathe and UHMW!
