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.

GMC Sonoma Leaf Spring Shackle

GMC Sonoma vehicles have some components known as the Leaf Spring Shackles that bear the responsibility of joining the leaf spring and the frame of this automobile. These shackles enable the leaf spring to expand or contract and enable the tires to stay grounded over these irregularities. GMC Sonoma Leaf Spring Shackles are available in different length, whereby, lengthier shackles would enhance the ground and lift height clearance as compared to the shorter shackle that has the towning or lowering effect. As time passes, factory shackles may deteriorate, rust, or become broken, and thus the capacity to handle products and ensure safety will be an issue. To ensure that such problems do not arise, one should replace worn shackles as soon as they are identified. There are standard, rear, boomerang, and other kinds of shackles for GMC Sonoma to make a choice to everyone's taste and needs.

Each OEM GMC Sonoma Leaf Spring Shackle we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
