Ford Bronco Leaf Spring, Axle & Rear Shackle Position Diagram (Shackle Flip)

This is a simple hand-drawn schematic (likely made in a basic paint program) illustrating the layout of a rear leaf spring suspension relative to the vehicle. A black arrow at the top points left and is labeled 'front of vehicle,' establishing orientation. A red curved line spanning the image is labeled 'leaf spring,' representing the arched spring. Near the bottom center, a solid black circle labeled 'axle' shows the axle's position under the middle of the spring, indicating a spring-over/spring-under mounting point at mid-span. At the rear (right side) of the spring, a small black rectangle with two cyan dots (representing the two shackle bolts/pins) is labeled 'shackle,' showing that the shackle attaches at the rear end of the leaf spring. Given the companion file in the album ('shackle flip.JPG'), this diagram appears intended to explain shackle orientation or position for a shackle-flip suspension modification discussion, likely for the uploader's 1996 Ford Bronco. The document contains no part numbers, torque specs, measurements, or year/model applicability statements; it purely conveys the relative positions of the front of the vehicle, leaf spring, axle, and rear shackle.
