Product Description

The Whiteline W72133 is a rear leaf spring rear eye bushing kit engineered for the 1995-2001 Ford Explorer across all trim levels and both 2WD and 4WD configurations. The 2nd generation Explorer uses a solid rear axle with leaf springs, and the rear eye bushings - where the trailing end of the spring pivots - are among the highest-wear items on the vehicle. Cracked, collapsed, or missing factory rubber bushings cause rear-end wander, clunking over bumps, uneven tire wear, and degraded load-carrying stability, particularly when towing or hauling.

Whiteline's synthetic elastomer compound is significantly tougher than OEM rubber, resisting the oil, grease, ozone, and weathering that destroys factory bushings over time. The result is a more controlled rear suspension with improved ride quality and reduced noise. Installation requires no specialized tools beyond basic hand tools for removing the rear shackle bolt, and no wheel alignment is needed after fitment. One kit covers both sides of the vehicle.
