Default Where can I get a leaf spring bushing insert ??

I ordered leaf springs but one of them is missing a bushing insert, Anyone know where I can get just the insert?

The place I ordered from does not have a legitimate phone number or website address and doesnt respond to my emails.

Thanks.

What kind of springs are they? Bushings are available pretty much anywhere.

......and how did you order the springs if they don't have a phone number or website? Mail order? Carrier Pigeon? Email?

Umm. No. I need just the metal insert that goes into the center of the bushing.......... The bushings are already installed on the leaf springs when i got them but one was missing the little metal, round tube that goes into the center of the bushing............
I ordered the leaf spring online/Ebay.... The online seller does not have a valid website or a working phone number.

I tried carrier pigeon but the springs were too heavy..... LOL.

I'm not sure where you can buy just the sleeve. All of the searches I tried only came back with complete bushings.

Here is a website called who concepts that has just the sleeves. If you are able to measure the other spring's sleeve and know the size bolt needed then you can find the correct size. I can't remember exactly what the correct size of either are off the top of my head.

I don't think you can just buy that part of the insert. If you want the whole bushing, you can push the existing one out and insert one of these. Check your year for compatibility, but here are a few I found when looking for mine (2000 XJ) last week.

At Quadratech's site:
5600106 2 BUSHING-LEAF SPRING SHACKLE END 84-01XJ 52000504 $13.98
5600105 2 BUSHING-LEAF SPRING FIXED EYE 84-01XJ 52000503 $17.98

and

Crown Automotive 52000504 Rear Leaf Spring Bushing $10.55:
