freightliner spring and shackles

well just got my truck back today after a week..dump truck was ridein pretty bad and had a bounce at about 35mph so i took it to the shop to get it checked out......bad spring bushing and pin was what we thought....no no on bad spring ,bushing, and hanger on the back of the leaf... freightliner wanted 500.00 per side just for the hanger... i called around and found a aftermarket comp. for 310.00 for both sides had to ship 2 days .. well all the parts fit and back going and saved some money truck rides great and cant tell the spring hangers and stuff was replaced in the front unless you know its not bounceing at 35mph......i had bought pins and bushing from freighliner beforer i kinew the hanger was bad cost me 210.00 took them back and got a refund and got the kit above for 310.00 now thats both sides of the back spring incl. hangers,pins,andbushing,and shackles with shim,and nuts and bolts....thought i would let you guys know..ill post the name of the comp. if any 1 need it thanks mike

 

i replaced the steer hangers only the back of the steer ...the shop checked the front hanger on the drive and they was good to go...the back hangers had froozen up in the bushing and was popping ...the shop said someone had replaced them before and didnt shim them right..cause you get alot of shims to get a tight fit....truck rides good now no popping and also replaced 1 u joint at the back of the trans it had slack in it from the bearing eating in the joint it self.....dont know how that happen i grease the truck every 2 weeks (dump) and more often it in rough work...but i just thought i would let you guys know about the freightliner parts and price and that the other company is alot cheaper...if anybody else need the info i'll be glad to pass it on ...i would post it but dont think i can be in line with the board rules...thanks mike
