How to service and repair the Leaf Spring Shackle on GMC Jimmy?

Service or repair begins by properly supporting the vehicle and also the rear axle. Spare tires on pickups and 4-door utility models need removal together with the disconnecting of the rear exhaust hangers before dropping the exhaust system. Service teams must eliminate the Fuel Tank together with evap canister for service work on 2-door utility models. Start by unscrewing the frame to spring shackle nut while removing washers followed by frame to spring shackle bolt, then disconnect the spring shackle to leaf spring nut along with washers before extracting the shackle from the vehicle. Reinstall the spring shackle on the vehicle before adding the spring shackle to leaf spring bolt and washers and finishing with spring shackle to leaf spring nut without tightening it. Set the frame to spring shackle bolt alongside washers and frame to spring shackle nut in their proper position before you will tighten. Support the axle section so it stands 6.46 inch to 6.94 inch away from the bumper bracket metal surface and apply 122 nm (89 ft. Lbs.) of torque to the spring shackle nuts. Two-door utility models require the evap canister and Fuel Tank reinstallation before continuing with installation. After raising the exhaust system install the rear exhaust hangers if required and replace the spare tire for pickups and 4-door utility models if they need it. End the task by taking off the rear axle support followed by lowering the vehicle.

The Leaf Spring Shackle in GMC Jimmy cars are found between the leaf spring and the frame of the car and is a vital component that influences the operations of the car's suspension system. Its main purpose is to receive increased or decreased length in the centre of the leaf spring so that it could be flexed properly. Hence, the flexibility is paramount in occurring an effective contact with the tires at the surface of the terrain; the more so in relation to the uneven surfaces. There are three basic types of Leaf Spring Shackles that have been installed in GMC Jimmy models; the standard, the rear, the boomerang, and the heavy-duty shackle. Major differences between these types are in the length of the shackle and the purpose of its use: longer shackles provide more ground clearance and overall lift height and shorter shackles are used as lowering shackles. Sometimes, due to rust or damage, the Leaf Spring Shackles fitted at the factory may degrade to an unsafe extent and, therefore, have to be replaced.
