I ordered a kit from one of the suppliers to rebuild my rear cab mount shackles and the bushings don’t seem right.
The inside diameter of the bushings fits the threaded pins of the shackle fine but the outside diameter is too small to fit snug in the outer arms of the shackles and are sloppy. They tighten up when you tighten the outer plate down on them but that’s just the side-to-side compression.
For those of you who have rebuilt your shackles, is this common or maybe this supplier just has the wrong bushings? The original bushings were a tight fit in the outer arms of the shackles but the shoulders are in bad shape so I can’t re-use them.
Any insight is appreciated.
