Dorman - OE Solutions Leaf Spring Shackle P/N:722-001
Replace fatigued or rusted shackles with the DORMAN leaf spring shackle 722-204, a direct-fit replacement for the 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota, 1986-1993 Dodge D150 and 1986-1989 Dodge D100. This rear leaf spring shackle kit is cataloged for the rear left and rear right positions and is designed to fit and perform like the original equipment shackle.
A shackle links one end of the leaf spring to the frame and pivots as the spring flexes, so the spring's length can change under load and over bumps. Dorman's advice is to get ahead of fatigued or rusted shackles before they become dangerous.
Signs a shackle may need replacing include heavy rust, cracks or bending, and clunking or squeaking from the rear over bumps. Because it is cataloged for both the rear left and rear right positions, inspecting both sides at the same time is a good idea. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and trim details.
