This rear shackle, cataloged for the rearward position, links the end of the leaf spring to the frame and pivots as the spring flexes, helping the rear suspension move as designed.
A shackle may need replacing if it shows heavy rust, cracks or bending, or if you hear clunks or squeaks from the rear spring area over bumps. Because those noises can have other causes, inspect the suspension before replacing parts. The full application list is in the Buyer's Guide tab.
