ARB | OME Rear Greasable Shackle Kit | 4WD (1984-89 4Runner / 1979-88 Pickup)

ARB | OME Rear Greasable Shackle Kit

For 1984–1989 Toyota 4Runner 4WD and 1979–1988 Toyota Pickup 4WD Rear Leaf Spring Applications

Overview

The ARB | Old Man Emu Rear Greasable Shackle Kit replaces the factory rear leaf spring shackles with a serviceable greasable design. Integrated grease fittings allow lubricant to be delivered between the shackle pins and spring bushings without removing the shackle assemblies, simplifying periodic maintenance and helping reduce bushing wear.

The kit uses heat-treated shackle pins, zinc-plated steel side plates, and an easy bolt-together construction for durable rear suspension service on applicable Toyota 4WD models.

Key Features

• Greasable rear shackle design allows periodic lubrication without shackle removal
• Provides grease coverage between the shackle pins and spring bushings
• Helps support bushing life and smooth leaf spring articulation
• Heat-treated pins for durability under heavy loads and off-road use
• Zinc-plated side plates for corrosion resistance
• Easy bolt-together assembly
• Designed for use with applicable Old Man Emu leaf spring and bushing setups

Greasable Shackle Design

Leaf spring bushings require periodic lubrication to minimize friction at the suspension pivot points. The greasable pins route lubricant directly to the bushing interface, allowing routine service without disassembling the rear shackles.
