MJDigger-CT Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Hello laddies and gentleman. I've been working on my 89 Comanche , having trouble finding a new shackle. Mine is far gone. Found all the Cherokee ones. Buts its my understanding that there a bit shorter. Anyone ever have any luck finding them besides a junkyard?
Jeep Driver Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 I have the JKS and I'm happy with it. NAPA sells the bushing if you have a press and the patience.
MJDigger-CT Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 Ok ok awesome thank you sir Ill take a ride to napa for sure.
TheDude Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Or you can get chevy drop shakles which will lift the truck an inch or so. They're usually $30.
dasbulliwagen Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 The stock Chevy shackles are the same length as mj ones. Might be easier to find the Chevy's.
HOrnbrod Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I know of a source for NOS MJ shackles, p/n 52001828. They are $50/ea though. If interested send a PM. And no, they are not mine..........
MJDigger-CT Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 Hey all thanks for the feed back. Stock chevys as in for an old s10 or?
daking Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I got a set from AutoZone Image Not Found A bit longer then stock. I think, less then $30 for the pair
Incommando Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 They are on the shelf at your local McAuto parts places.
Pete M Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Hey all thanks for the feed back. Stock chevys as in for an old s10 or? fullsize. late 90s early 2000s for sure. maybe other years too.
MJDigger-CT Posted April 26, 2015 Author Posted April 26, 2015 ok ok thank ya just picked up the bushing from napa worked great thanks for the help.
jpdriver1 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 I've got a set of stock ones (used of course) you can have for the cost of postage. :thumbsup:
Incommando Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 I am still trying to figure out how to lower my SOA rear without removing any leaves. The pack is soft and flexy now. If I went to the XJ shackle it looks like it would hit before flexing out?
MJDigger-CT Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 There was some confusion on on which bushing I wanted with the rep at napa. The leaf spring bushing the shackle mounts to is the one that was shipped in. Have to try again , or just man up and get a whole new unit.
