Dexter Shackle Bolt 007-126-01, 7/16-20 x 2.90 Inch, 9/16 Inch Body, Zinc Plated

The Dexter Shackle Bolt 007-126-01 is a zinc plated shoulder bolt designed for trailer leaf spring shackle assemblies. It secures the shackle link to the spring hanger or equalizer, allowing the leaf spring to pivot as the axle moves through its suspension travel. The bolt features a 7/16-20 thread, a 2.90 inch length, and a 9/16 inch diameter shoulder body that fits through the shackle and spring eye bushings to provide a precise, low-wear pivot point.

The zinc finish resists corrosion in the wet, road-spray environment trailer suspension hardware is regularly exposed to, helping the bolt hold up against rust over repeated use. Because this is a shoulder bolt rather than a standard fully-threaded bolt, the smooth 9/16 inch body diameter section reduces slop at the pivot point compared to using a generic hardware-store bolt, which helps keep the shackle assembly tight and reduces premature bushing wear.

This shackle bolt is sold as an individual replacement fastener for rebuilding or servicing a trailer leaf spring shackle. It is intended for use with shackles and hanger brackets sized for a 7/16 inch bolt with a 9/16 inch body diameter.
