manuals and the 'Net to find an answer. Allow me to explain. The front
hanger brackets on the rear chassis outriggers have welded-on tabs
which presumably stop the bolts turning when attaching a nut.
BUT............the BJ8 uses shackles with captive splined
shoulder-bolts, so the welded-on tabs are redundant.<br clear="none"><div><br clear="none"><div>Further
confusion comes into play when one of the shackle pairs has two 1/2"
diameter bolts which are too big for the holes in the bracket on the
chassis. However the other shackle has one 1/2" splined bolt and one
7/16" ditto which fits the chassis bracket perfectly. <br clear="none"><div><br clear="none">I know which is theoretically correct, but does anyone else have an answer, please?</div></div></div></div>
