I would like to replace. It is rivited on any sugestions? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 579 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 579 | Is the bracket (which is, in fact, riveted) worn or is it only the bushing in the bracket? Bushings come with shackle kits and and pressed in place. I changed a rear frame shackle bushing in this log entry on my website: Framework - Halfway Home If neglected long enough, the shackle pins can wear all the way through the bushing into the bracket metal but maybe upon closer inspection you may find you only have to replace the bushing. Good luck. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 579 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 579 | Thanx Joe. I'm gettin' older and forgeting things. Logging what I do to the truck helps to remind me not to make the same mistakes twice . . . most of the time  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 7 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 7 | I kinda thought there was a bushing in there. that will probably fix it (I hope}. it looks like it was driven with a broken shackle
thanks I will have more questions as this is a new project and my first time at it
