★ Each vehicle requires 2 pieces of this article (WO802061) and 2 pieces of the opposite article (WO802062 with double right-hand thread) for a complete set of four spring shackles.
Application
This spring shackle with mixed thread direction is fitted at the left front position and the right rear position. The left-hand thread bush is installed in the leaf spring eye, the right-hand thread bush in the frame bracket. For the right front and left rear positions, use article WO802062 (double right-hand thread).
Installation notes
Pay attention to the correct thread direction during fitting: the left-hand thread bush goes in the spring eye, the right-hand thread bush in the frame bracket. Grease the bushes via the grease nipples after fitting. Check that the U-shackle sits evenly around the axle housing before tightening the nuts.
Compatibility
This is the variant with mixed thread direction (LH+RH) for left front and right rear. DO NOT interchange with WO802062 (double RH) which fits at right front and left rear. If in doubt: remove an old shackle first and visually check which thread direction is present.
Historical context
The U-shaped spring shackle with mixed thread direction was standard on WWII military jeeps and early CJ models. This system with greaseable bushes ensured reliable suspension under harsh field conditions.
