    Well Monroe used to sell bushing's but the parts stores said no longer so I will get 2 online have the part number found them for 42 ea delivered to my house. Im use to being able to rebuild my shocks all the fox shocks on sled or atvs are rebuildable. I even have nitrogen to charge them and bushing's and seal kits. Thought I'd be able to at least get bushing's. Not in todays world of use it and throw it away.

    You might give atro industries in sullivan, mo a try, they make and sell them and Dyco and Euclid sell them too.

    I tried international dealer to nope they just wanted sell me new ones standard oh they don't make them anymore yada yada bull. They still make the shocks they still gota make the bushing's. I just kept thinking maybe Monroe doesn't offer them to make you buy new ones. Thanks for the list of places will try them 8 dollar bushing's beat 40 dollars for new shocks especially when the old ones are still good.

    Many truck parts houses sell Euclid and have a catalog but don't realize the bushings are offered, so if you look for bushings locally Euclid would be your best bet. Atro and Dyco are the polyurethane bushings so they hold up longer. Shocks have a longer lifespan than the cheap bushings they supply with them. Just another marketing scheme to lighten your wallet. I knew they could be had, just poked around a bit to find them.

    I looked up atro but couldn't find anything for Monroe they did list for Ford trucks. Do I have to go by the shock eye size which is ls54 tried looking at the others too but couldn't find anything online.

    Atro stuff is great! We almost dont sell the OEM motor mounts anymore. The Atro ones are so much better and about half the cost, also ask about their parts and labour warrantee if you do front and rear mounts. As well as their line of torque rods loaded with the urethane bushings, unstoppable!
