Has anyone experienced broken shackles? Both of the bolt holes on the two shackles which attach the shackles to the rear spring on the passenger side of the Sundance became elongated enough to finally give way allowing the spring to flip upwards and rest against the frame. A further examination revealed that the bolt holes on the two shackles which are attached to the rear spring on the street side of the Sundance are also elongated but not to the extent where they will no longer keep attached to the spring. I have no idea what caused this as I have not gone over any curbs etc. The Sundance has travelled 30,000 miles. The other four shackles which are attached to the front springs on both sides of the Sundance do not show any signs of elongation. Any idea as to the cause of this failure?
