    Getting ready to replace my AllPro Expo leafs with some Alcans. Should I replace the shackle bushings?

    885 w/ 5100's + 1/2" d.s. top plate, EL096R w/ B110's, Whiteline LCA bushings, Energy Suspension poly leaf & shackle bushings, new OEM rear shackles, custom rear brakeline mount & e-brake extensions, LR UCA's, SnugTop cap
    They're cheap enough. Assuming they work with Alcans, Energy Suspension's poly leaf bushing kit
    $68 8.2116G LEAF SPRING BSHING SET - REAR
    8.2116G includes the shackle bushings and their sticky-as-shit Formula 5 Prelube waterproof grease.

    To make it easier grab new OEM shackles from the dealer and skip the B.S. of getting the old bushings out. Part # 04005-65104 for a pair. Should be under 20 bucks.

    How bad is to get the old ones out?
    Sounds like a good idea getting new shackles.

    Didn't even try removing the old bushings but it didn't look particularly fun from the posts I saw on here.

    For $20 new shackles with no rust and a fresh painted surface to hopefully never squeak against the greased-up poly seemed like an easy decision.

    Remember where you saw the posts about changing the bushings?
