Product Description

The Prothane 1-816 greasable shackle bushing kit is an ideal upgrade for Jeep CJ5, CJ7, CJ8 and Wrangler YJ models from 1987 to 1996. Factory rubber bushings in the shackles often wear out, sag, or deform under load, which can lead to sloppy handling, inconsistent suspension movement and increased vibration. By replacing these with premium polyurethane bushings designed with grease fittings, you'll restore sharper suspension response, quieter operation and better durability.

Whether your vehicle is used for daily driving, off-road exploration or has been lifted for clearance, this kit is engineered to fit directly into the existing shackle link mounts on the listed chassis. With the optional black finish (-BL) or standard red, you can match your build's look while gaining performance. Because these bushings are serviceable (greaseable), you'll also benefit from extended life and minimal maintenance downtime.

Important note: Fitment is confirmed for 1987-1996 Jeep CJ5, CJ7, CJ8 and Wrangler YJ models with upper and lower shackle links (both front and rear axles). Coverage for other years, trims or non-standard suspension variants is unconfirmed at time of listing. Always verify your vehicle's chassis, shackle link configuration and mounting hardware before purchase.
