Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the shackle, leaf spring eye, and surrounding hardware before installation. Press or remove the old bushing carefully to avoid damaging the spring or shackle, and verify the dimensions against the original part before assembly. Because hardware is not included, reuse or source the required mounting hardware separately as needed. Confirm rear application and vehicle-specific notes before ordering, especially on 1967-1980 Chevrolet Camaro and other GM models with listed diameter and length requirements.
