What size diameter for greasable leaf bolts?

All,

Tried searching but couldn't find anything on the third gen specifically. I am looking to buy the bolts below to try and eliminate any noises. I can't find the size of the bolt that's needed, also I will need 4 correct?

I know Dobinson or something makes them too but they're literally twice the price. Thanks!

do you have noises now? or just potential ones that don't exist yet?

 

Any interest in trying poly bushings first?
Less mess and just as easy to install.

 

I’ve put in the Dobinsons, here’s the OEM bolt at 0.510”

 

I've had noises in the past after off roading, had to take it into dealer to rectify. Installing AAL soon, assuming they will not warrant after that - plus if I can do it myself it saves hours taking to dealer etc.

No I haven't, I'll research that - wouldn't the old ones have to be removed then the new ones put in with a press or similar? Never replaced bushings before.

Thank you!

 

Very easy to do. Just did them last week, as a matter of fact.
Yes, the old ones get pressed out. Not too bad. And since your truck is newer, I'd imagine they would be easier to press out. New ones are just a hammer strike (if that) and done.
Energy Suspension is the manufacturer.

 

They prevent the squeak altogether? Or should I do them alongside the greasable bolts? I am familiar with energy - have them on my 240SX.

 

Should take care of the squeak and well as improving handling. My leafs (Dakars) used to squeak from that bushing like a mofo. Not a peep since installing the new bushings. And I really could feel a difference in how it made the truck feel too. So wild how something so small can make a considerable difference.

 

Give 'em a try. Not very expensive and an easy swap.

 

Ah I just found this on their website, seems like this is the key to keeping the squeak away.

You know what, I don't see them on the Wheeler's site for OEM leafs.
Wonder if they do make them though.

 

Yeah, that lube is pretty good stuff.
