Front spring shackle bushes

I'm about to start getting the bits together for some winter entertainment.

I know the front spring shackles sit in bushes in the ends of the springs but do they also have bushes in the axle? In other words are there two bushes a side or just one?

I look forward to being able to reverse round corners...

Two in the spring and two in the axle.

And don't forget that after fitting they have to be reamed!!

Yes, is it 1/2 or 7/16? Right now I can't find either in our garage...!

Re: Front spring shackle bushes

1/2 inch for king pins 7/16 for shackles.
