Leaf spring problem
Hello, I have a 1995 F-150 2wd. The problem is my truck is slightly sagging to one side, so I went in for a closer look and discovered that the rear passenger leaf spring shackle has broken off its mount. So the broken part is the mount that is riveted into the tow hitch and supports the shackle connected to the leaf spring.
So does anyone know the name of the broken part, and how to fix it ( mainly how to take off the leaf spring pack ).
Thanks in advance.

If the parts person at your local dealer knows anything,just him you need the rear hanger.They'll know what you need,very common problem.It's not rivoted to the hitch,just the frame.Just remove the 2 bolts and cut the rivots,then bolt the new 1 back in place.I'd reccomend getting the shackle and 2 spring bolts (new) also.
