Ford Falcon Rear shackle bushes replacement

When do Ford Falcon rear shackle bushes need replacing?

If your Ford Falcon has rear leaf springs then it will usually also have rear shackle bushes. 

Rear shackle bushes connect and locate the leaf springs to the chassis, when you go over bumps or turn corners these bushes work to minimize the movement felt in the cabin of the vehicle.

Shackle bushes are usually made of rubber or polyurethane and have a pin through the middle that locates the bolt.

Generally, it’s wear and tear over an extended period that causes rear shackle bushes to wear out and extreme driving conditions such as carrying heavy loads or excessive off-roading can contribute to premature wear.

There are a few ways to tell if your rear shackle bushes are wearing

  • The vehicle may feel ‘loose’ in the rear
  • Excessive tyre wear
  • Clunking noise from the rear
  • Squeaking or groaning noises

If the rear shackle bushes are not replaced when they start to wear the metal pin could cause damage to the shackles themselves and it could end up being a more expensive repair

Typically, the shackle bushes are pretty easy to replace, it starts with raising the vehicle, using a jack or vehicle stands to take the weight off the shackles so the bolts can then be removed and the bushes replaced.

Loved the service! The poor man was by himself so he was backwards and forwards all day. He didn’t complain.

Felix was very knowledgeable, and the job was finished as expected. Matt did as he explained. Pricing was a little higher than quoted however, I feel I can now take my vehicle there and it will be well looked after.
