Toyota Shackle Capture Washer Kit
Having problems with your swing shackle hardware coming loose? Here is a simple solution to never have to worry about that problem again.
These capture washers are made to fit the M18 hardware used on aftermarket Toyota shackles with a 27mm hex head. If your hardware has a different size hex and/or you’re using SAE hardware, feel free to email us and we can make you a set to work with your specific hardware.
The kit comes with 4 weld on capture washer and 4 bolt on style capture washers. The weld on style have flat spots on the outer diameter to allow for 3 1/2" long welds to retain them on the nut side. The bolt on style tabs are for the shackle bolt heads and will require either a through hole drilled in the shackle or drilling and tapping the shackle plate for a retaining bolt. We prefer a through hole, since tapping 1/4-20 holes are one of the most disliked chores n the shop. Once drilled the retainer bolt can be put through and a locking nut can be used for redundancy to keep the bolt in place, even if it were to come loose. All tabs come with a machine tumbled finish.
Have a leaf sprung setup that doesn't use M18 hardware? As stated before, feel free to email us and we will work to make a set to fit the hardware size that you're using.
