The set supplies the high-wear components that connect the leaf spring to the trailer frame so you can restore safe, quieter towing without hunting for individual parts. All pieces are made from corrosion-resistant materials so they stand up to outdoor use and road exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this kit fix common trailer suspension problems?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShackles absorb lateral movement and the vertical travel that comes from springs, so worn shackles lead to excessive play, noise, or uneven handling. Swapping in new straps, bolts, and bushings reduces slop at attachment points and helps the spring-seat geometry return to factory alignment. Installation addresses the most common source of squeaks and observable spring movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes 2 packs of 2-5\/8\" shackle straps suitable for tandem axle setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComes with 8 nylon 9\/16\" bushings to replace degraded rubber\/metal pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupplies 12 shackle bolts (9\/16\"-18 x 3\") and locking nuts for secure fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is included and are the parts compatible with my trailer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Racewill kit bundles the components most often replaced together so you won’t need extra trips to the hardware store.
