Shackle Lengths?

Pete · Post by **Pete** » Mon Jan 07, 08 10:45 am

Hi there.
Have had a question from a non-member.

Does any one know the lengths of the rear shackles for the "A", "B", "C" body cars?

I thought that the "B" and "E" would be the same, but this may not be the case.

Thanks in anticipation for any information, thanks.

My C body hangers are 4" centres,5 1/4" overall.

I am sure they are different. But in what way I am not sure.

I just looked the Summit and Year One sites and they both list E body seperate from B-body.

It may be the bolt size varies.

My A-Body Shackles measure 3-1/2" centres

Thanks Guys, any view on the length of "B" body shackles to complete the picture?

I have a feeling the B-body shackles are slightly shorter than the E-body. i.e. 3.5-inches rather than 4-inches. But you need to get one of these thousands of Charger owners to get under and measure for you.

You not got any b-bods yourself these days Pete? You surprise me.

Thanks guys.
Got 4 "B" Bodies, but none close to hand at the moment, you know how it is.

Come to think of it, I do need to get rid of a couple.....

I think you may be right on your guess Dave.
Thanks to Adam if he can whip his measuring stick out
