shackles on a 40

Post by Mechman »

Hi all.
just tried to remove my leaf springs for renovation and had to cut thru one of the shackels and none of the bushes would relinquish their bolts so i had to heat the suckers up untill they melted.

i have been quoted 60 bucks for replacement bushed (enforcer) but what can i expect to pay for shackles? im not after anything special, just maybe greaseable..

i am tempted to make some myself... just wondering on costs to see if its worth the hassle...

cheers
ohhhhh shite... it really didnt look that deep!
