Im replacing the leaf spring bushing ...the one I picked up from O'Reilly's seems small now that I got the old one out.... It's the front bushingthat ya put in the rear leafspring front bracket. Any thoughts? They assured me this was the right size at O'Reilly's.

It looks smaller than the hole it is in, but you could have an oversized hole. It may have wollered the hole bigger.

How is it compared to the old one? if the center holes are the same, I would think its ok, but I AM NOT qualified to make that call, maybe some one who knows more will chime in soon.

Looks wrong.

The front bushing is much bigger than the rear one, and not as common to replace. You may have been given one for the rear.

If it fits the other hole then you have the opposite one.
