Product Description

The Whiteline W73470 is a rear leaf spring shackle bushing kit engineered for the 1989-1995 Toyota Pickup (N80/N90) and the 2001-2004 Toyota Tacoma (1st generation). Both platforms use a rear leaf spring suspension with a shackle at each end, and the shackle bushings are high-wear items that deteriorate under the stress of heavy loads, towing, and off-road use. Worn shackle bushings cause rear-end wander, clunking over bumps, imprecise steering feel, and accelerated spring wear - all common complaints on high-mileage examples of these trucks.

Whiteline's synthetic elastomer compound delivers far greater abrasion resistance, load-bearing capability, and chemical resistance than factory rubber, while still maintaining enough compliance to preserve ride quality. The complete kit includes 12 bushings and 4 tubes - enough to refresh all shackle positions on the entire vehicle in one go. Assembly grease is included for correct installation. No wheel alignment is required after fitting, but the job is rated as tricky with a 3-hour estimated install time due to the need to compress and remove the shackle hardware.
