Ironman 4x4 Greaseable Shackle (Earring) – Rear Leaf Spring – 386-1

Ironman 4x4 Greaseable Shackle (Earring) – 386-1

Increase the durability and performance of your rear suspension with the Ironman 4x4 Greaseable Earring (386-1). This shackle is designed to work with rear leaf springs and polyurethane bushings, providing a greaseable solution that reduces wear and enhances comfort.

Greasing the polyurethane bushings significantly extends their lifespan, and improves ride quality by minimizing friction and binding. Built with zinc plating for enhanced corrosion resistance, these shackles are ideal for both daily driving and rugged off-road conditions.

Each vehicle requires 2 pieces per rear axle (1 per leaf spring).

Questions & Answers

• Q: How does greasing improve bushing life?
  A: Greasing reduces internal heat, friction, and wear—especially in polyurethane bushings, which are stiffer than rubber.
• Q: Will this change the suspension height?
  A: No, these earrings do not provide lift; they improve performance and durability.
• Q: Can I use this with non-Ironman springs?
  A: Yes, as long as the dimensions match and the bushings are greaseable polyurethane type.
