Dorman - OE Solutions Leaf Spring Shackle P/N:722-009
Swap out a fatigued or rusted shackle at the back of the leaf spring with the Dorman leaf spring shackle, part number 722-018. It fits many Ford models, among them the 2001-2007 Ford F-250, 1999-2007 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2000-2007 Ford F-350. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. This sturdy steel rear shackle kit connects the rearward end of the leaf spring to the frame and pivots so the spring can lengthen and shorten as the suspension moves.
Shackles take constant load and road exposure, so fatigue and rust can weaken them over time. Signs a shackle may need replacing include visible rust or cracking, and clunking or squeaking from the rear suspension over bumps. If a worn shackle is the cause, this Dorman leaf spring shackle kit replaces it at the rear rearward position.
