Deaver Baja Bushings

crazyjim · May 31, 2009

What do you know about them? Who's run them? There's a good chance I may be running some soon, and I'm a bit worried about the handling characteristics of my leafs being able to flex so easily and twist. Has anybody run these on a go fast rig?

Dan? Anybody? Looks like I may be looking to run a sway bar in the future if I like these enough, I need one anyway, eff it.

Well Jim. They are called BAJA Bushings NOT JV Bushings so I think they were intended for go fast rigs.

Orbital Eye leaf springs. You can order them that way from Alcan too IIRC. Only know of one person on NAXJA

to ever run them. Some local, but thats about all I can add.

I wouldnt mind adding them to my new leafs.

Ya, that seems like a pretty good deal to me. Once they're locked down to the axle housing there should'nt be any strange handling characteristicsesissss.

I've never run those either, but I think it would take away from the natural 'sway bar' effect from the leaf springs.

They are pricey though...and the stock rubber bushings are cheap and flexible. You would definitely have the cool factor with those

When I go Deaver Id like to run them but the 2 things stopping me is like L_N_E stated they would probably add body roll so since I drive mine on the highway alot I would need to go with a rear antirock and also being in Indiana where it rains all the time I bet since they are non greasable they would be like non greasable hiems and be squeeky biotch after they get wet

National Drivetrain · Jun 2, 2009

You guys are looking at it all wrong. Those will not add any more body roll or any kind of funny handling.

I think Jim is going to find out for himself, cuz he's got them.

crazyjim · Jun 2, 2009

Woo. Yea I just picked up some deavers from cal and will be running the Baka bushings. It'll be a while because the jeep is down but I'll report back with my findings!
