Prothane 9-1003-BL Front/Rear Spring Eye & Shackle Bushing Kit Black 1-3/16" ID

The Prothane 9-1003-BL is a complete front and rear spring eye and shackle bushing kit engineered for the 1968–1971 International Scout 800. This kit replaces worn OEM rubber bushings with premium-grade polyurethane components, delivering improved suspension performance and long-term durability. The black colorway features a small amount of graphite blended into the polyurethane compound, which aids in reducing squeaking during operation.

Key Features:

• Premium-grade polyurethane construction resists wear, road grime, and deterioration that degrade stock rubber bushings
• Covers front and rear spring eye and shackle positions — 1-3/16" I.D. spring eye
• Precision-fabricated components ensure accurate fitment with all related sleeves included
• Black polyurethane formula includes graphite for added squeak resistance
• Includes Prothane Super Grease for proper lubrication during installation
• Available in black (9-1003-BL) or red (9-1003)
• Lifetime Warranty — Prothane guarantees the product free of defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle

In leaf spring suspensions, significant forces are concentrated at the pivot points and shackles. Stock rubber bushings soften and fail over time, leading to a degraded ride, reduced load-carrying ability, and loss of chassis feedback. Upgrading to Prothane polyurethane restores proper suspension geometry and improves handling responsiveness. Lubricate all bushings thoroughly with the included grease during installation to ensure a quiet, squeak-free result.
