Shackle: All Technical Service Bulletins
Front Spring Shackle - Frame Interference
Article No. 86-13-27
SUSPENSION - FRONT - SHACKLE TO FRAME CONTACT - 4x4 VEHICLES
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-86 F250/350
A revised front spring shackle is available to resolve contact between the frame and the prior design bracket. The new bracket incorporates a "clearance"
notch to gain clearance and should be installed with the closed end forward. Installing the new bracket backwards will create an interference concern.
Reversing of the old shackle to create clearance with the vehicle standing still will create greater interferences when the vehicle is operated and should
not be done.
