Club Car DS Front & Rear Leaf Spring Bushing Kit - Upgraded

In this review the Club Car DS Front & Rear Leaf Spring Bushing Kit earns its keep for owners who need a durable replacement for OEM leaf spring bushings. The biggest reason to consider it is simple: the kit replaces corroded, weak rubber and thin metal parts with high quality polyurethane and one-piece sleeves that resist wear and rot, restoring a firmer, quieter ride for 1981-up Club Car DS carts. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic suspension work and the included grease and instructions reduce guesswork.

Key Features

• Material: High quality polyurethane provides longer service life than rubber and resists deformation under load, giving more consistent suspension behavior.
• Design: One-piece sleeves and chamfering design ease alignment and reduce metal-to-metal contact for a smoother, quieter ride.
• Compatibility: Fits 1981-up Club Car DS gas and electric models for both front and rear leaf springs, replacing OEM numbers 1015583 and 1012303.
• Complete kit: Includes 16 bushings, 8 sleeves, special grease and installation instructions so the kit is ready to fit right away and the grease assists installation and longevity.
• Durability: Polyurethane construction is used in racing chassis shock components and offers stronger resistance to rot and breakdown than original thin metal or rubber parts.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Club Car DS owners who have worn or deteriorated leaf spring bushings and want a longer-lasting, serviceable replacement that reduces play and improves ride quality. It is ideal for DIY mechanics and small shops that prefer a full kit with sleeves and grease included.

It is not intended for front upper A-arm applications; those require a different upper a-arm bushing kit. Buyers who need a combined solution for A-arms should purchase the appropriate separate kit instead of this leaf spring specific set.

• Includes sleeves, grease, and clear instructions for a simpler installation process.
