So I rebuild the front shackles on the 37. I can’t say it really handled bad but I knew the bushings were shot so I didn’t give it much thought. The rear bushings on the front springs were badly worn but the front shackles were completely frozen on boath sides.
Now with all new bushings the truck is Squirrley . Can barely stay in one lane at 55. Every thing is new in the front end.
My son has had a few jeeps and he says it a common upgrade on early jeeps( they also have the shackles on the front of the front springs) to reverse shackles to the rear of the springs for better handling. Any body else have this problem.




These old bolts are in my blood. Hard thing is focusing on just one.
