    Putting new shackles to lift up the rear end of my 1996 Tacoma… The driver side stock shackle bolts came right on out, but the passenger side bolts won’t budge from the stock shackle hanger or the leaf springs… Finally with enough pb blaster and whackin, The bolts are coming loose, but with the sleeve and bushings coming with them. Is there a place I can buy these bushings/sleeves without having to special order them? It’s a 2.7L 4cyl, 4wd btw

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Going to be hard I wonder If Toyota still has them for a 1996.

    I bought the shackle Kits from Toyota years ago.

    Any friends with a Lathe that could make what you need?

    I am not sure if Whiteline bushings come with the sleeves or not.
