1986F150Six Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Ok got it now. Is #20 an inner sleeve that the bolt goes thru? #20 is the standard "common" bushing with rubber and metal sleeve. I don't think the leafs are all that expensive for this thing. I'll check on them this week and let you guys know how it plays out;). Just another layer of the onion as Gary would say! Cory, I saw these and thought of your project. Is this like what you are working with? https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine-OEM-Ford-EOTZ-5776-B-Spring-Shackle-7110N/302993187257?epid=1611168713&hash=item468bcd21b9:g:vvwAAOSwf-taqx1y Uh oh, this ad says it is for F250, F350 [same # as above]: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-GENUINE-OEM-REAR-SUSPENSION-SPRING-SHACKLE-BRACKET-FORD-F-250-F-350/233040489499?epid=1611168713&hash=item36424bac1b:g:nTcAAOSwd7FcDfk6 https://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-OEM-Shackle-Bushing-Ford-EOTZ-5781-B-E-150-E-250-E-350-SD/254022093774?epid=1111139514&hash=item3b24e58bce:g:HowAAOSwfHVbRkQF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 https://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-OEM-Shackle-Bushing-Ford-EOTZ-5781-B-E-150-E-250-E-350-SD/254022093774?epid=1111139514&hash=item3b24e58bce:g:HowAAOSwfHVbRkQF Yes sir! I bought two of these Dorman kits... https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-46307-722-101.aspx It's great in the sense it comes with everything required (although I did upgrade the bolts). However, the bushing is too loose in the spring...and it's the old springs fault, not the bushing. Like Gary says, more peels from the onion...lol. The project is kind of at a standstill at the moment. The rear end of the truck is assembled waiting for me to transport it home, and I'm pretty useless currently as I've had some shoulder work this week.

Rembrant Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Rotator cuff? Yes sir. Funny how one faulty component can render a grown man useless...lol. I hurt it working under the truck back in the early summer, and it has never healed. Had a cortisone shot in it today, and more Physio starting tomorrow.

I've seen too many instances where people, myself included, didn't follow the therapist's guidelines. It didn't go well, and in most cases therapy had to be started all over.

Rembrant Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Do whatever the Physical Therapists say and then some more. 100% recovery is possible. Understood gentlemen! I haven't been very good at following instructions in the past...but then again, I'm not healing like I used to either, so time to wisen-up as they say. Problem #1 was that I waited way too long to have it checked. Problem #2 was that I continued to do jobs/work/projects that I really shouldn't have. Problem #3 was that I went to a Physiotherapist office that was convenient (not good quality). Through meeting a couple different other people, I ended up with a shoulder specialist at a Sports Medicine clinic, and they have been great. It's not convenient, but it IS very good quality. Going back again in the morning, and I AM doing the "homework" they're giving me (for a change...lol). Hopefully all will be well;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
