Post Rear shackle help
Ok folks,

On last weekends wheeling and camping trip, we managed to break one of the rear shackles. I need recommendations. Would you look for a replacement stock shackle (and if so, does anyone have one they are willing to part with?) or is there better shackles for a daily driven medium duty wheeling type rig?

adding some flex would be nice but the bronco fund is rather dry right now so that is a factor as well.

Thanks,

This looks like a winner to me. Good bang for the buck. I'd love to have one of the super heavy duty ones, but at $150/pair or whatever they are I can't see spending the additional money.

Just replace it with an OEM one if it isn't going to be a heavy duty rock rig. Get in touch with Don (dalli) here on the board, come down to his yard here in the Springs and pick it up and you can meet a few of us Springs boys.

Hope you can locate some stockers.

Next time (hoping there isn't one), maybe find a way to fasten a large stick between the bed and the spring to at least spread the load and not damage your bed.

J.D.

Received the replacement shackle from JGZ - Thanks! Checker/OReilly gave me the wrong bushings so we are picking up the supposed correct ones from Napa today.

Anyone else notice that since Oreilly took over, Checker pretty much sucks? I mean I spend over a grand a quarter there with the work trucks and personal vehicles and as often as not, the part is wrong or they can not find it at all...

Shoot they told us that they could not get shoes for the rear of the bronco. It is a 74 bronco, ford 9" drums. Really? went down the road to Napa and they had 4 different types, wheel cylinder rebuild kits and all the spring hardware....

I am just about done with Checker... they are becoming more and more like Pep Boys every day.

I'm an Advance man myself. The 20% discount keeps me coming back. But when I do rear brakes it becomes a pain. Depending on what year I am working with, I typically have to run to two or three different vendors just to find stores that have the right drums and shoes.

Sign up for a comercial acount with Advance... they offer delivery for FREE!!! I have one and its GREAT!

Its posts like this that light the fire under my butt to get the onboard welder finished... Could have fixed you right up! Oh, and why are 90% of trail brakes involving the mounts, or parts, for shocks and springs?
