FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of this bushing?

The bushing has an outer diameter of 54 mm, an inner diameter of 20 mm, and a length of 96 mm.

Can I install this bushing without a press?

While some may attempt installation with manual tools, a hydraulic press is strongly recommended to prevent damage to the bushing and the vehicle housing.

Does this package include mounting bolts?

No, the package includes the leaf spring bush only. Bolts and other hardware should be reused if in good condition or replaced separately.

Is this part compatible with my specific vehicle?

You should verify compatibility by checking your vehicle's original part number against the febi bilstein 26916 reference.

How often should these be replaced?

They should be inspected during every major suspension service. If there is visible tearing of the rubber or persistent suspension noise, replacement is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting the bushing into the housing

Ensure the housing is free of rust and burrs. Use a hydraulic press and an appropriately sized mandrel to apply even pressure.

Squeaking noise remains after installation

Check that all mounting bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings and ensure the bushing is properly seated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures smooth suspension movement
  • Reduces metal-to-metal contact noise
  • High manufacturing standards by febi bilstein
  • Restores original handling characteristics

Cons

  • Requires professional installation tools like a hydraulic press

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for the longevity of the leaf spring bush. It is recommended to use a hydraulic press or a dedicated bushing removal and installation tool to avoid damaging the housing or the new part. Before fitting, clean the spring eye of any rust or debris. Compatibility should be verified using the vehicle's VIN or original part number cross-reference. For maintenance, periodically inspect the bush for signs of cracking or excessive play during routine oil changes or suspension checks. Apply a light coating of rubber-safe lubricant to the outer surface to ease the installation process, though avoid petroleum-based products that may degrade the rubber compound.
