Help for anyone who needs schackles and brackets

[rboutin2]

I just replaced both rear shackles, and both rear shackle brackets, and the bracket on the front of the passenger rear leaf spring. I am posting this to help out anyone who has trouble finding the shackle parts. For starters, you can get everything you need at NAPA and Oreilly's EXCEPT for the front bushing on the leaf spring. The bushing from NAPA and Orielly's is too small. It takes a split bushing, which I got from my local ford dealer. The brackets and shackles are like $20-$30. The bushing was $30. Here is a list of the part numbers for the stuff. I got my shackles from orielly's cuz they were cheaper, but napa has em too.

Here are the part numbers:

this would be good for a Tech Lbrary Article. theres one on replacing shackles and hangers but this info would be a great addition to the article because it dont tell anything about where to get the parts

I repleced my shackles and hangers on the rear of the rear leafspring. I used dorman part # 722-010 and #722-001. they are less than $100 for all 4 pieces. They worked great. they come with everything you need. A helpful tip is it is much easier with the bed off.

I just bought my parts from the Advance Auto website:

http://www.advanceautoparts.com/

Shackle : 722-001 $29.00. Comes with nuts, bolts and bushings.
Hanger: 722-010 $26.00. Comes with nuts and bolts.


The best part of buying from them is using their online coupon codes when you add items to your shopping cart.

Check out http://slickdeals.net/ and type advance auto in the search box, somebody always posts the best coupon codes that are currently working. Try a few of them and see which one gives you the best deal. I used code LC123, which dropped my total from $109 to $69 before sales tax!!! Way better than any deal on ebay or elsewhere online. Shipping is always free when you spend more than $75, or you can pick up at your local store (like I did in this case).

Thanks for this. Will check out them out for insurance and will check out what they carry for other parts which I can definitely find useful like these Distributor Rotor for the Explorer which I plan to DIY.
