[92broncobeast]

my 92 has a bad rust problem the left rear leaf spring holder has almost rusted compleatly in half. its about if fall off it dont fix it does any one have any suggestions and have youe seen this problem before, nothing eles has any rust just that one spot and its bad

Assuming the frame is OK, one would have to torch the bad spring- hangar (front or rear) off & weld in a new one.

A weld shop or even a muffler shop could help you with that.

If you're refering to the shackle (the part that pivots) on the rear of the leaf spring....that's easy to replace.

If the frame is rotted around the hangar....then a frame shop will have to get involved.

Might want to order-up the new hangar B/4 you start...& as usual, make sure it's correct. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

happened on my bronco as well. u will need to get the spring bracket on the frame and a new shackle. the bracket is rivited to the frame with 4 rivites so just cut off the heads of the rivits with a torch. becareful of the gas tank right there. then use grade 8 or higher bolts to hold on the new bracket. thats what i did and they have been fine for over a year now. replace both sides. jack the truck up and hold it on jack stands on the frame and use a jack under the axle to raise and lower it

buy new brackets all around and clean the fram with a wire brush and some rust killer then primer and paint it or put hurculiner on your whole frame if you want then put the new brackets on oh you maby want to just put new leaf springs on as well just get all the rust away from your truck
