Dorman - OE Solutions Leaf Spring Shackle Bushing P/N:541-579
Replace the cushioned pivot at your leaf spring shackle with the Dorman - OE Solutions Leaf Spring Shackle Bushing, part number 541-584.

The bushing cushions the joint where the shackle links the leaf spring to its mount, and it helps the spring move as the suspension compresses and extends. Dorman precision-engineered and rigorously tested it as a reliable replacement for the original equipment on specific vehicles. The catalog lists it for front, rear, rear upper and rear lower positions, depending on the application.
This part may need replacing if you hear squeaks or clunks from the spring area over bumps, see cracks or wear in the bushing, or find looseness at the shackle. If a worn shackle bushing is the cause, this part replaces it. Inspect the related shackle hardware during the same job.
