    Hey guys. Looking to buy a new rear leaf spring bushing kit for my 1949 f1. Seems like they are around $100. Is this the going rate? Seems like the kit I bought for the front springs was half that (a few years ago). If that's the way it is so be it, $100 wont break me but it does seem a bit much. Any alternative suggestions?

    Thanks oldiron. Not quite what I was after, my title was misleading due to the shackle reference. I changed It now. I'm really after the bushing/pin kit.

    I measured my spring width and spring eye inside diameters as well as the bolt hole sizes then did a little on-line searching. I bought Energy Suspension urethane bushings for roughly $50.

    Thanks all. Looks like speedway sells a complete kit also at a bit more reasonable price ( not sure why it didn't pop up when I searched earlier).
