When I took the shackles off of my 115c, I think I found the remmnents of a cork washer of some sort between the shackle pieces and the leaf spring. Is there supposed to be anything like that? If so, what's it made of and does it go between the shackle plates and frame/spring bushing on both bolts and plates or just on one end?


Ken,

I am a little confused. Is the organic material between the leaves of the spring, or was it between the side of the rubber bushing and the shackle pin links?

If the latter, could it be some junk that got caught up in there? The only parts in the shackles should be the two shackle links, two shackle pins, and two rubber shackle bushings.
