Shackles, Brackets & Components

Shackles, Brackets & Components (1932–1979 Ford Cars & Trucks)

Leaf spring movement on 1932–1979 Ford cars and light trucks depends on correctly fitted spring shackles, hanger brackets, bushings, and pins. This category covers ford reproduction Front Of Front Spring Shackle Kits & Bushings, classic ford Rear Spring Shackle Hanger Bushing options, rear spring shackle kits, shackle pins, lock pins, and related bracket hardware used at both the front and rear of the spring assembly.

Shackles allow controlled pivot movement as the leaf spring compresses and extends, maintaining proper suspension articulation and axle alignment. Bushings isolate movement between the spring eye and frame or hanger, reducing metal-to-metal wear. Fitment may vary by model year, body style, front or rear mounting position, and suspension configuration. Differences between front-of-front, front-of-rear, and rear-of-rear shackle locations affect pin length, bracket style, and bushing design. During restoration, worn bushings or elongated shackle holes can contribute to ride height changes, steering wander, and uneven tire wear. Properly matched components restore intended geometry and factory-correct movement.
