Old Man Emu Rear Greasable Leaf Spring Shackle Kit for 1st-Gen Tacoma (1998–2004)

The Old Man Emu Rear Greasable Leaf Spring Shackle Kit is a purpose-built solution to maintain suspension performance while simplifying routine maintenance. By allowing lubrication without disassembly, it reduces downtime and protects bushings from premature wear. Designed for heavy-duty use, the kit supports smooth articulation, enhanced ride quality, and reliable performance on and off-road.

Shackles feature heat-treated pins for high load tolerance and structural strength. Zinc-plated side plates provide corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity in wet and abrasive conditions. The bolt-together design simplifies installation and maintains secure attachment to leaf springs.

The kit is engineered for direct replacement and alignment with Old Man Emu rear leaf springs. Greasable pins allow lubrication to penetrate fully between shackle and bushing, maintaining optimal movement and reducing noise, vibration, and wear.

Properly greased shackles enhance suspension compliance, axle control, and ride quality. Components maintain their integrity under heavy loads, towing, and off-road articulation, ensuring consistent handling and vehicle stability.

Materials and construction are optimized for long-term exposure to load stress, moisture, and environmental elements. Greasable pins and protective coatings extend service life while reducing maintenance frequency, supporting reliable performance in demanding conditions.
