With the leaf bushes I was having the same issue three times. In the end I used niloc nuts on the rear and Loctite green on the front and only nipped them up enough so they ther was no play. This allowed for the leafs to flex without resistance; so far 15k and all is holding up well. I also used caliper grease on all the bushes and this may or may not have helped but it sure has not hurt.
