Wet bolts
The bushing that goes around the outside of the bolt and into the ends of the springs. Are they tight that they need to be press fitted into them? The spring ends not the bolts. Thanks

Thanks You people had confirmed that I will need to do some suspension work in the spring (once this snow melts and I can get it out of storage)
So the story is
I am assuming I have a Lippert suspension under my trailer. I went to the local trailer/RV place and was looking for greaseable parts in the blushings. Got sold by the mechanic Dexter wet bolt system. He said doesn't matter if it is Lippert OR Dexter. They didn't install it (if you didn't buy it there they give you the cold shoulder on servce) Took it to a suspension, alignment, tire and brake place. When the guy took it apart the plastic blushings were worn out of shape. The blushings from the wet bolt kit slipped right in. They didn't need to be pressed in. I told him to change them anyway. His advice was (I was heading to West Virginia) to grease it before I left Grease it down there and grease it again when I go home.
Next problem with the suspension I have noticed for a while that the right side sits lower than the left. As I was putting it away last fall I noticed that one of the stacks of the leafs is not straight on the right side. That was new. So I am planning to replace all four springs.
So it looks like I might have to buy four new springs and a new wet bolt kit that fits and have it installed. So will it be Dexter OR Lippert?
Thoughts?
