REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLES REPLACEMENT 2001-2005 DODGE CARAVAN, GRAND CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY

Update / clarification:
Unbolt the track bar. If you are not replacing the bar (really not necessary, I did it because it was $20, but I wouldn't do it again, it made more work with no benefit) just remove the upper bolt and pull the bar loose from the body. The lower bolt is the adjustable one, so don't disturb it and it is also a pain to torque down. If you don't unbolt the track bar it will push the axle to the left and the hangers will not align with the bolt holes.

Replacing the rear leaf spring shackles on a 2001-2007 Dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan, Town and Country. This video shows the non stow and go model, but models with S&G should be the same basic procedure, but as always, examine your vehicle compared to my video and proceed from there. THIS REPAIR REQUIRES YOU HAVE THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ON APPROPRIATE JACK STANDS, WHEELS CHOCKED BOTH SIDES AND PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT OR SKILLS TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR, PLEASE SEEK OUT AN EXPERIENCED MECHANIC.
