Whiteline Front & Rear Shackle Bushings

1980–1997 Ford F-250

Part #: W73815

Overview

The Whiteline Front & Rear Shackle Bushings are essential maintenance components designed specifically for Ford F-250 trucks manufactured between 1980 and 1997. These bushings play a vital role in maintaining proper suspension geometry, ensuring a smooth and stable ride even under heavy loads or extended use.
