A leaf spring shackle bushing sits in the shackle connection. It gives the spring a pivot point so the spring can flex and change length as the suspension moves. Dorman engineers and tests this bushing to take the place of the original equipment on specific vehicles.

Signs a shackle bushing may need replacing: squeaking or clunking from the suspension over bumps, visible wear or damage on the bushing, or excess play at the shackle. If a worn bushing is the cause, this part replaces it. Inspect the shackle and related hardware at the same time.
