I think I know the answer to this, but it's always good to consult the experts for more input. Here's a pic of one of the rear spring shackles off my 55 F-100. Too worn to reuse, or good to go with a new bushing?
Looks a little too far gone. We’ve reamed out holes before with hard to find parts and then rebushed with a thicker wall to accommodate the larger hole but still keeping the ID of the bushing the same. Problem is you don’t have much meat to work with.
Thanks for responding, guys. You've confirmed what my thoughts were. I've already bought new pins and bushings - be stupid not to drop a few more bucks on new shackles.
