I did a search here and found nothing, so am seeing what ya'll know. I need to replace the "rebound clips" on my leaf springs and wondering where to find these things! For those who don't know(and I didn't know what they were actually called until I looked in my TSM), here's a pic I just found online of what rebound clips are:

The RC's are merely the clips that more or less kinda clamp the leaf springs at two spots along the way(see pic). Pretty much just looks like metal brackets with a foam/rubber padding piece. A few of mine are shot and others are "going", so would just like to put on a bunch of new ones. I'd asked at a couple parts stores a few months ago(when I didn't know what they were called) and they said they don't carry such a thing.

My brother made a set for his new trailer from some metal he had, and I know I could do so if need be too, but I "really" figure there HAS to be an off the shelf type of thing like this. Anybody seen such a thing, know where to find them, etc.????

Thanks.....

Is there a "spring and axle" shop in your area? Have you tried Espo?

Some people either remove them or run them loose for more articulation.

I bought some at NAPA maybe two years ago. You'll need to tell them the interior dimensions of the clips
