Leaf Spring Shackle, Rear

The replacement process starts with raising the vehicle with support while adding safety stand support to the rear axle. Use the mounting nut and bolt to take off the spring shackle from the Leaf Spring after which remove the spring shackle from the frame bracket by using the mounting nut and bolt. The new spring shackle installation begins by placing it onto both Leaf Spring and frame bracket . Secure the frame bracket attachment with mounting nut and bolt but without tightening the nut. The Leaf Spring requires the spring shackle next where you install it with a mounting bolt and a mounting nut. When assembling the spring shackle it should be tightened using a torque of 115 nm (85 lb ft) that affects the frame mounting nut while the spring shackle to Leaf Spring mounting nut requires a torque of 85 nm (63 lb ft). Finish the procedure by taking away the rear axle support and lowering down the vehicle.

The installation of a new spring shackle starts with raising and supporting the vehicle before using a safety stand to support the rear axle. The first procedure requires you to remove both the mounting nut and bolt which attach the spring shackle to the Leaf Spring then proceed with removing the mounting nut and bolt which attach the spring shackle to the frame bracket. Replace the spring shackle by installing it onto the Leaf Spring along with the frame bracket then secure it with mounting nut and bolt without applying torque. The spring shackle installation requires you to use the mounting nut and bolt to connect it to the Leaf Spring . Perform this operation according to the fastener notice in service precautions while tightening the nuts to 90 nm (66 ft. Lbs.). The last procedure is to take off the rear axle support before lowering the vehicle.

A vehicle hoist should raise the vehicle for safe access followed by placement of a suitable jack stand beneath the rear axle to let go of the rear spring tension. The replacement process begins by removing both the tire along with wheel. After that, remove the upper retaining bolt and the lower retaining bolt from the shackle before removing the shackle itself from the vehicle. Install the new shackle to the vehicle before fastening it with fresh nuts and bolts on both the lower and upper retaining points of the shackle. Install the tire and wheel on the vehicle then lower the vehicle down while simultaneously torquing both upper and lower shackle retaining bolts to 90 nm (67 ft. Lbs.).

The service and repair process starts by positioning suitable safety stands underneath the vehicle to support it during the operation. Additionally, the vehicle needs to be elevated with adequate tools to free up the tension from leaf springs on the rear axle. The service requires the spring nut removal while a user loosens it and proceeds to take off the shackle from the rear bracket bolt, nut, washers before cleaning out the spring nut and washers with bolt and shackle from the vehicle. The installation sequence begins with putting the shackle on the vehicle but avoiding fastener tightening until all parts have been properly positioned. Tighten the spring shackle by first following the advice from the fastener notice in service precautions before focusing on attaching it to the spring bolt assembly. Proceed by connecting the shackle to the rear bracket bolt along with washers and nut then tighten the Leaf Spring to bracket nuts to 415 nm (306 ft. Lbs.) and Leaf Spring to shackle nut to 213 nm (157 ft. Lbs.) and shackle to bracket nuts to 213 nm (157 ft. Lbs.). The spring height needs adjustment until the top part of the axle jounce pad matches the bottom section of the frame jounce bracket.

Service and repair of the shackle begins by elevating the vehicle to a hoist then using a suitable jack stand to stabilize the rear axle as this allows the rear springs to relax. First disconnect the tire and wheel before taking out both retaining bolts from the shackle assembly. Next remove the shackle from the vehicle. Install the shackle on the vehicle by first placing it back in position then tightening a new lower retaining bolt with new nut followed by tightening a new upper retaining bolt with another new nut until both reach a torque level of 90 nm (67 ft. Lbs.). After properly resetting the tire and wheel you must lower the vehicle.

First raise and support the vehicle while also supporting the rear axle with a safety stand then proceed. To start replace the spring shackle you must first undo the bolt and the nut that link the spring shackle to the Leaf Spring and then undo the bolt and the nut that link the spring shackle to the frame bracket until the spring shackle becomes removable. Place the spring shackle on the Leaf Spring and frame bracket before installing the mounting nut and bolt to the frame bracket without tightening the nut. To proceed install the mounting nut and bolt onto the Leaf Spring . Begin by applying 115 nm torque to the spring shackle to frame mounting nut and 85 nm to the spring shackle to Leaf Spring mounting nut. To complete the process lower the vehicle after removing its rear axle support.

One should first support the vehicle and raise it before using a safety stand to stabilize the rear axle. First loosen the mounting hardware between the spring shackle and Leaf Spring, then unbolt the mounting hardware which links the spring shackle to the frame bracket . Mount the new spring shackle onto the Leaf Spring along with the frame bracket. Secure this installation using the mounting nut and bolt while skipping the tightening step. Secure the Leaf Spring with spring shackle through the mounting nut followed by tightening both nuts to 90 nm(66 ft.lbs.). Lift the vehicle and remove its rear axle support before continuing.

The service and repair process starts by positioning suitable safety stands underneath the vehicle to support it during the operation. Additionally, the vehicle needs to be elevated with adequate tools to free up the tension from leaf springs on the rear axle. The service requires the spring nut removal while a user loosens it and proceeds to take off the shackle from the rear bracket bolt, nut, washers before cleaning out the spring nut and washers with bolt and shackle from the vehicle. The installation sequence begins with putting the shackle on the vehicle but avoiding fastener tightening until all parts have been properly positioned. Tighten the spring shackle by first following the advice from the fastener notice in service precautions before focusing on attaching it to the spring bolt assembly. Proceed by connecting the shackle to the rear bracket bolt along with washers and nut then tighten the Leaf Spring to bracket nuts to 415 nm (306 ft. Lbs.) and Leaf Spring to shackle nut to 213 nm (157 ft. Lbs.) and shackle to bracket nuts to 213 nm (157 ft. Lbs.). The spring height needs adjustment until the top part of the axle jounce pad matches the bottom section of the frame jounce bracket.

Before starting to change the spring shackle users must lift and support the vehicle while placing a safety stand under the rear axle. Completely dismantle the spring shackle by removing first the mounting nut and bolt which connects it to the Leaf Spring and then the mounting nut and bolt that attaches to the frame bracket. Lastly remove the spring shackle from the Leaf Spring and frame bracket. Start with Leaf Spring spring shackle frame bracket attachment followed by mounting the bolt and nut to the frame bracket while keeping the bolt loose. Proceed to install the mounting nut and bolt to the spring shackle together with the Leaf Spring and fasten them with 90 n.m (66 lb ft) torque. Drop the vehicle after eliminating the support for the rear axle.

115 N.m (85 lb ft).

Tighten both the upper and lower shackle retaining bolts to 90 Nm (67 ft. lbs.).
