Reading a bit on the subject, it all started with the spring shackles, with gives me the creeps. I bought a the whole set (front and back) for my truck at LMC. My mechanic told me we should sent the original bushings to metalize. I told him new materials should be better than the ones used 60 years ago. When I received my parts, yes, gold sticker made in Taiwan. Well, hope Taiwan is better than China. Haven't installed the shackles yet, but, the problem was only the bolt that broke before reaching torque or also the bushings? If it is the bolt, I'll change it with a grade 8, but if the bushings are no good either, guess I'm screwed.
