I took my truck to a new place get the oil changed today and the tech wanted me to come out and look at an issue. The passenger side hanger had cracked all the way across. The only thing supporting the shackle is the thru bolt. The one on the driver's side is partially cracked as well. Anyone else experience this issue?


Thanks.

 

never heard of that, got any pics?

 

Friend of mine's had that happen on her 99. IDK how.... but it did

 

been jumping the truck? lol

 

She bought it off of a rebuilt title.... kid that had it before her hit a coyote and rollled it.

 

I think i've seen a thread with the same issue before.

 

Here's the pic. This is on the passenger side. When the tech first showed me this, it was not twisted like this. This is after I drove it home.

Just got home from getting a quote to have this repaired. $180 to clean, weld and reinforce the hanger. Damn.

 

Sum beach! Never seen that.

 

I'm lucky this was found before it failed at 70 MPH on the freeway with my daughter in the truck. I woulda been sick if that happened.

 

Eh, why not call a salvage yard, get them to cuts you 2 off a junk truck, take a torch, or grinder and cut your old ones off, and get good grade 8 bolts and lock nuts AND washers and spend you 1-2 hours and fix it for less than $75
