Is the spring pack missing the sleeve that goes through the bushings?  That is the first thing that comes to mind.

Reminds me of some homebrew shackles I've seen haha. ::)

If you're trying to fix it: bend it back out and weld a plate across the front for protection and support to prevent it from happening again, but then your spring may start slopping around in there.

I dunno. If it were me, I'd rather have a bent hanger than springs shifting side to side when I go around corners or on a side hill.  :dunno:

I can't see any way to bend a hanger like that unless the bushing sleeve was missing...   ???

My springs shift from side to side when I go around corners :hammer: .  I could fix it, but im too lazy  :sleepy:  .  What you could do is bend the hanger back make brase it up and get some new bushings.  Some new after market  bushings have a lip on them that would probably fill up the gap or make it less apparent when going around corners.   :turtle:  :usa:

It is a 96 Hilux that has a SAS.
Front hanger and bolts comes from AllPro
There were no sleave,just the bushing and bolts
Maybe that´s the problem, :idea:

Thanks anyway :usa:

.  . . if you wanted to hack it off the frame and replace it.  But I doubt he does.  If you can source up a sleeve you would be best off. You may have to use a smaller diameter bolt though.  The width between those spring mount ears is 2.5" right?  Or 2.25"?  Anyway, if there is no clearance to box that front section in, try a bit of box tube, and cut the fourth side off, then use that to box it in, as you could move it out away from the spring for clearance
