Leaf spring shackles

[danza]

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a pair of flex-a-form leaf springs (composites) and wanted to mount them this weekend. The only problem is that i dont have shackles. I called the local mustang shops and they all have shackles with rubber bushings none have them with urithane.
I don't plan on racing any time soon. Do you guys think i should just go ahead and put the rubber ones on or should i wait until i can get urethane.

Thanks for any advice.

Get the rubbers, you can change them out later.

Did we welcome you to the board?

NPD and other vendors sell complete urethane bushing sets, or ala carte.

believe it or not you can probably get them at autozone, they sell energy suspension bushings. if they don't have them in stock you can proabably have them them within 2 days.

this is probably one of the only time you'll ever see me advocating autozone for anything, just so everyone is clear on that
