are you talking of the shackles that move when the spring flexes ?

Posted by: deanz400

shackles do need to be able to move or your spring won't

the bolt actually is tight in one side of the shackle ,and lock nut on the other side so you don't have to over tighten them.

Hi to all! My question is are STRAP SHACKLES for my leaf springs supposed to move or are they there to keep the leaf springs up and in place? I'm wondering if I've got to torque them solid or do they need to move somewhat? Please help!

they do eh? hmmm, I'm having problems getting them to move is there supposed to be somthing in there other then the bolt like a spacer or something?
