Product Details

The Prothane 1-812-BL is a heavy-duty polyurethane leaf spring shackle bushing kit designed as a direct replacement for worn or deteriorated OEM rubber bushings. In leaf spring suspension systems, shackle pivot points endure extreme lateral and vertical forces during acceleration, braking, and cornering — making bushing integrity critical to handling precision and ride consistency.

Prothane's premium-grade polyurethane compound significantly outperforms factory rubber by resisting compression, deflection, and breakdown caused by oil, road chemicals, and UV exposure. The result is tighter suspension geometry, reduced axle wrap, and improved overall handling response compared to soft or blown-out stock bushings.

Key Features:

  • Premium-grade black polyurethane construction for superior durability over OEM rubber
  • Heavy-duty design engineered to withstand high suspension loads at shackle pivot points
  • All precision-fabricated sleeves and hardware included for a complete, perfect-fit installation
  • Resists oil, grease, road salts, and environmental degradation
  • Maintains consistent suspension geometry and reduces unwanted axle movement
  • Direct OEM replacement — no modifications required

This kit is a straightforward upgrade for restoring or improving the rear suspension performance on compatible AMC vehicles from 1970–1983. All necessary components are included for a complete installation.

first time ive order from here and my experience was great! shipping was crazy fast. and they had the best price shipped on the 2jz arp head stud set i could find. also how on their site they actually list if they have the part in stock and how many which is very helpful. ive payed for parts to find out the vender didn't even have them available. which lead to more down time. and we all hate down time :)

I ordered an Optima battery for my truck after I did a Google search for the battery. Autoplicity was the cheapest on the Web. Even cheaper then eBay. They got me hooked. Thanks Autoplicity

Best price on the internet. A lot cheaper than amazon, so I was pretty surprised.

quick, and easy. low prices as well

Initially I was somewhat disappointed with this site's turnaround between the purchase and shipping dates (aprox 3 days) on my merchandise. After vocalizing about the issue autoplicity's customer service actually approached me to correct the problem. With other such issues from other online stores I have had to track down someone to contact for help and then go through an ordeal to obtain assistance. I would use this site again based solely on their proactive service.

This is the first time I've ordered from Autoplicity. I found they had the best price on the item I was looking for and decided to try them. I ordered this item yesterday(Sunday) and was just informed that it shipped. That is quick. I am pleased with their customer service and will use them as my first source.

Ordered a CTEK charger. Great price, and recieved it in 3 days. Very pleased.

I ordered a Flowmaster cat back system for my 2012 F-150. The order arrived the day they said it would and the product came at a fair price. Well done.

Excellent customer service. Treated me very well. Issued a refund, no problem. Thank you!!
