Spring Shackles- Friends truck

Volvo92906 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-06-2009, 09:41 PM

I got a friend with a 91 F-150 2WD. We were messing with his truck today and I noticed that his rear driver spring shackle is rusted out and the spring is sitting on the bottom of the bed. I asked him about it and he said he could not find the parts anywhere. Does anybody have any advice on this? He has called everywhere I would for immediate parts. (same area, obviously)

Im sorry. I should have checked first. There happens to be a recent thread with someone who wants to replace them because of rust. I am going to use the advice there. Thanks anyhow!

Check out 1A Auto I just posted in a different thread about the same thing.

I hope this helps, Will

Check NPD and LMC. Ebay has them too.

If its a 2wd make sure to get the ones for 2.5 inch wide springs. The 4wd has 3 inch wide springs. I would measure the width of the springs first just in case.
