1952 CJ3A - while doing the annual greasing and doping I saw something I have never experienced before. The right rear spring bushing had unscrewed about half way out. It easily screwed back in. I know it should be LHT, it screwed in as a RHT. I know at one point all CJ bushings were changed out to RHT. The springs and shackles were changed out by the po prior to 2018. The shackles are the original style, C. Checked the SM spring section for a hint of the problem and did not pickup on anything. The ole gal will get a workout next week and will keep a lookout on it but just wondering if any of you guys have experienced this issue and what the remedy may be. thanks - Bill

Common as green grass, LH or RH, if you have originals they most likely do not do that. The cheap re-pop crap ones available today are just that, on most every western adventures by the end of the week all 4 would be pinched together looking more like a 0 than a C. I switched all mine to the M38A1 style, and those too come unscrewed. I keep an eye on them at least they do not bend☝️

I am lucky then that mine hasn’t collapsed. Just another thing to watch out for. Thanks for the info Lee.
