[Spits] Rear Leaf Spring

[Greg Stull]

Are these bushings the little rubber discs that are between the leaves at 
either end of the spring?
Yes

Are they actually available?
Found them on E-Bay.

How long could a piece of rubber or plastic last, being rubbed between two 
spring leaves like that?
Probably not that long, but I'm going to find out.
