Newbie question: leaf spring hinge?

Hi,

I have a 1992 F150 Custom and the leaf spring "hinge" and the rear end of the spring broke. Is there a way to buy 2 new hinges, or do I have to buy 2 new leaf springs which come with the hinges built on and replace both of them?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! Also, do you know about how much these shakles would cost for 2 of them, and if it's easy to install myself? Thanks!

I paid $25 each at my local spring fabricators.

They're easy to install. It's an un-bolt, bolt-on deal. Take out the two bolts, remove the old shackle, and replace with new.

THanks everyone! I just picked up 2 of them for $26 a piece. Now I just have to find someone to use their touch and cut through the old bolt.

Thanks!
