I had my shackles on for awhile tho I had some really oversized it seamed bushings, Were those sposed to go in the front of the leafs? lots of rubber small hole. also have alot of werid squeaking comeing from the truck, Im pretty sure all my ujonts are bad so im how many am I looking at to replace them?

 

..Huh?

 

I think I can translate some of it..."I've had my shackes on for some time now; however, it seemed as though the bushings were oversized. Lots of rubber, so the hole was pretty small. Where they supposed to go in the front of the leaves? On a completely different topic, there's lots of squeaking coming from the truck, and I think it's my u-joints (or is the squeaking from the leaf spring bushings?), how many of them are there to replace?"

Is that close? I think I got most of it. Not making fun!! Well I mean I sort of am but I promise is good natured. That post really doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

 

yah sorry, was getting dragged off the coumpter by the girlfriend.
I bought the greaseable trail gear shackles, and I never put any bushings in the front. Do you know if it comes with them? I figured that I was only replaceing the back of the leafs and gave away the extra bushings, stupid I know.

And the squeaking I think its comeing from the leafs but not 100%.
Last thing I was wanting to replace my ujonts cause I hear them squeak or clunk when im driving, and was wondering how many there is for the back driveline, and the front thanks again. Sorry about the jumbled mess hopfully this is better.

 

Just get under your truck and count the u-joints. its hard for someone to tell you how many you have cause you might or might not have DC (double cardan) joints on either DS (drive shaft)

 

K well I didnt know what the heck that was untill I googled it , I have it one both axles I belive. I just dont like have less parts then I need.
