Hi all,
On my hilux it looks as if it at some stage both the hangers on the rear shackel mount have snapped, it has worn a hole trough the bottom of the top mount and u can see some of the bush showing thru,
what is my best option to have this repaired?? would it be possible to have an engineer remove the broken section and weld a new piece of round pipe in their or remove the piece of another vehicle and have the whole assembly reattached. the part is welded to the chassis rail.

superior engineering sell new shackle mounts for lux's they are about 35 bucs a pop

you just cut whole old one off n weld new one one. he will do if for you if you are near brisbane

good opertunity to move them to suit different leaf n shackle setups too
