    I just wanted to check...
    [​IMG]
    I was hit by an anonymous person and it bent the leaf spring so I wouldn't be surprised if this is bent too but hard to tell. Hoping to get up and running quickly so don't want to order the part over the long weekend if I don't have to. I couldn't tell looking at the other side, it seemed to be a little rotated but hard to tell...

    4 run, 2 don't
    Just buy new ones; greasable shackles would be my recommendation.

    That looks bent. The threaded ends are not parallel.
