How do you remove and replace the leaf springs and Leaf Spring Shackle on Chevrolet Blazer,S10,GMC Jimmy and Sonoma?

To remove and replace the leaf springs on a vehicle, start by raising the rear of the vehicle and supporting it securely on jack stands. Block the front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling off the stands. Use a floor jack to support the axle and raise it slightly to relieve tension on the leaf springs. Remove the four U-bolt nuts and washers, followed by the anchor plate and U-bolts with a spacer. Raise the axle slightly off the springs with the floor jack. If the spring will be removed for an extended period, support the axle with jack stands. To reinstall, reverse the removal steps, gradually tightening the U-bolt nuts in a crisscross pattern and then tightening all fasteners to the specified torque. If the bushings at the ends of the spring are worn or deteriorated, they can be pressed out and replaced with new ones.

Chevrolet S10 Leaf Spring Shackle

The Leaf Spring Shackle in Chevrolet S10 is used in the suspension system of the vehicle and the basic part is located between the leaf spring and the frame of the car. However, its main purpose is for length variation of the leaf spring to be housed in, so that it can flex properly when needed. These characteristics are crucial in order to be able to maintain the contact between the tyres and the road surface, particularly at the presence of irregularities such as bumps. Many different models of Leaf Spring Shackles have been used in S10 include regular, rear, boomerang, and heavy duty shackles. The primary distinctions between these kinds of shackles are based on the length, and the length is intended for; the longer kind of shackles will permit more distance between the ground and the lift height, whereas, the shorter type of shackles are helpful in lowering a vehicle. After sometime, the factory installed Leaf Spring Shackles may get damaged as a result of rust or breakage, and this requires replacement in order to be safe while in operation.
