Default Re: Rear spring eye

The spring shackle bushing has to be a tight fit in the spring eye for it to wear properly. If your spring is still safe to use, build up the bushing with a little solder for a tighter spring eye interference fit. Or make a new over sized bushing. Ideally a replacement main leaf spring with proper fitting shackle bushing holes should be used. The old bushing is loose. How does a new bushing measure up?
