  Leaf Spring Shackle Bolt, Bolt

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford leaf spring shackle bolt catalogued under base number 6068 hardware family and used at the rear of the F-150 pickup. The bolt secures the leaf spring shackle to the frame bracket and shackle plate, locating the rear of the spring pack and allowing it to pivot and lengthen as the suspension cycles. It carries the full vertical and fore-aft load passing from the leaf spring into the frame, so its clamp integrity is critical to ride control and rear axle location. Owners typically replace this bolt during a leaf spring, shackle, or bushing service, after a rear-end clunk or shifting sensation under load, or when the original fastener is corroded, seized, or shows thread damage. Ford notes this fastener cannot be reused or reinstalled once removed, so a fresh bolt is required any time the shackle joint is opened to restore the correct clamp load. Built to Ford specifications, it matches the original thread pitch, head, and length for a correct fit in the factory location. Always inspect the mating shackle, bushings, and bracket while the joint is apart, and torque the new bolt to the value listed in the rear suspension procedure for the F-150. Replacing worn shackle hardware along with the bolt restores quiet, properly located rear suspension travel and protects the spring pack from further wear.

• Notes: Part cannot be reused/reinstalled.
