Replace a fatigued or rusted rear shackle with the Dorman leaf spring shackle, part number 722-089. It is a direct replacement for the stock shackle on the 2009-2014 Ford F-150, 2009-2014 Ford Lobo and 2010-2014 Lincoln Mark LT. The shackle connects the end of the leaf spring to the frame and pivots so the spring can change length as it flexes over bumps and under load. This unit is cataloged for the rear, rearward shackle position.
Signs a shackle may need replacing include clunking or squeaking from the rear suspension over bumps and visible rust, cracks or bending on the shackle. If a worn shackle is the cause, this kit replaces it. Inspect the spring eyes and frame hangers during the job, and follow the vehicle service information for torque specifications.
