Rear Shackle Q

[ImfamousJIM]

alright... im putting new springs and rear in my duster....

for the rear shaclkes... i pulled my old springs out by unbolting the shackle mount from the frame...
for new shackles... am i gonna need to get these new bushings pushed? it doesn tlook like they'll be easy to get out/in.

I have done suspension work on other vehicles (mostly jeeps) in the past. In these instances you will need something to press the bushings into the shackles. I used a large c-clamp with large washers welded to the clamp pads. This allowed me to evenly press the bushings into place. I have also done it with a large vise. I believe you can also but a special bushing press at places such as Harbor Freight
