I am looking for front/forward mounting leaf spring hanger for my 1997 E-150 conversion van, XL, V8, 4.6L.
Does anyone know where I can locate/find this parts, new or used

Thanks.

 

For new, you might try , "Vintage Parts Inc.
Beaver Dam, Wisc.

Used your best bet is probably a salvage yard.

I am not sure if the hangers were bolted or riveted to the frame. In either case they may use special type shoulder bolts when replaced . Unless ordinary grade 8 bolts are a snug fit , it could allow them to get loose. If new are available it might be a good idea to inquire about the correct retainer bolts and get them if available.
One other place you might check is a spring repair shop, they usually do these jobs pretty frequently.

 

This conversion van is in very good condition, entire family of 7 seat very comfortable. I replaced both front radius arms and all of front bushings, rearward lift spring hangers and brackets due to rust/corrosion, except forward hanger is discontinued by Ford and in need of replacement.

I bought a few hangers online but they don't fit due to either incorrect spring width or mounting holes are not correct. Fortunately, they are returnable.
Will try the places that you recommend and thanks four input.

 

I am able to locate both of these front/forward mounting hangers from a local salvage yard with visual checking at them to make sure they are correct. Currently, the salvage yard is working to have them pulled.

Thanks Hanky for your input.
