Default Ford rear spring bolts and lock pins.

My new set of rear spring bolts & lock pins arrived today from MacsAuto, U.S.A. They are a PERFECT fit. Won't be any rattles coming from the rear suspension, thats for sure. I am lucky to have found enough good bushes for rear springs to have a good tight set all round.

Hope both the part numbers are clearly visible in the above photos.

I'll slowly work my way through as many potential sources of irritating rattles or squeaks as I possibly can. That kind of noise drives me to distraction, and I must eliminate the noise.

Shackle bolts: $9.50ea
Lock pins: $1.10ea
Total part cost = $63.60
Shipping cost to Aust = $65.43

P.S: The grease nipple you see, is one I put on. The bolts don't come with those!

As usual, it costs more to get the parts here than it does to buy the bits!
Still worth it for peace of mind.

Went to a local brake shop today. They will be making a new set of flexible hoses. Roughly $40 each. The ones I have here, I bought some time ago, and I don't remember their country of origin, so I daren't trust them. Make good example to have ones made from though.
