Today we are replacing the shackle hangers on this 2004 Chevy Silverado. We remove the bed to make the replacement easier. Enjoy Baileys clean reggy that makes me utterly jealous. working on this truck is so nice because everything comes apart like it is supposed to. At the same time though, working on something this nice, especially when removing the bed is a total case of anxiety. This is the first time i have ever replaced the shackle hangers because they cracked. Usually i end up replacing them because they are extremely rusty with a hole in them.

Considering the compound form of the bracket particularly in that specific area, it is not uncommon to see metal thinning during stamping of those brackets. Typically that thinning is within specification and never causes an issue, but on rare occasion may show up as cracking after many miles of use.

Good info, makes sense to me. Thanks for the comment and watching!

Did it chirp the rear axle when it was broken?

[@alecaagaard]

No, not that I'm aware of.
