shackles
hi everyone, I was wondering if I can put wet shackle on a 14 year old fifth wheel, I have had problems with the shackles cracking and breaking. I had them gusseted, but they did not change the bolts....

If you are writing about the hangers, the U shaped mount for the springs cracking, you will need more than wet bolts.
Hangers have a 9/16 hole into which the bolt locks into tight with Knurling just inside the head, same as a wheel stud. Knurling locks the bolt into the hanger, preventing it from turning in the hanger, so the wear action is in the spring eye.
