ARB | OME Greasable Rear Shackle Kit

For 1984–1989 Toyota 4Runner 4WD & 1979–1988 Toyota Pickup 4WD


Overview

The ARB Old Man Emu Greasable Rear Shackle Kit is a heavy-duty rear suspension upgrade for 1984–1989 Toyota 4Runner 4WD and 1979–1988 Toyota Pickup 4WD models equipped with rear leaf springs.

Integrated grease fittings allow the shackle pins and spring bushings to be periodically lubricated without removing the shackle assemblies. Maintaining proper lubrication reduces friction at the suspension pivot points, helps extend bushing life, and keeps the rear leaf springs moving smoothly through their normal range of travel.

The kit uses heat-treated shackle pins, zinc-plated side plates, and a bolt-together design for durability under daily driving, hauling, overland, and off-road conditions.

  • Greasable rear leaf spring shackle design
  • Allows bushing lubrication without shackle disassembly
  • Provides grease coverage between the shackle pins and spring bushings
  • Helps reduce friction and extend leaf spring bushing life
  • Heat-treated shackle pins for durability under heavy loads
  • Zinc-plated steel side plates for corrosion protection
  • Bolt-together construction for proper shackle assembly
  • Designed to complement Old Man Emu leaf springs and bushings
  • Direct rear leaf spring shackle application
  • Complete kit services both rear leaf springs

Greasable Shackle Design

The greasable pins allow lubricant to be delivered directly between the shackle pin and spring bushing. This eliminates the need to remove the rear shackles simply to lubricate the suspension pivot points.

Maintaining a film of grease at these interfaces reduces friction and operating temperature while helping protect the bushings from accelerated wear. Periodic lubrication is especially beneficial for vehicles exposed to water, mud, dust, towing loads, and regular off-road use.
