Hello gentlemen!

I need your advice. The rear spring shackles on my 1999 Explorer Limited AWD 5.0 are crumbling from rust. Today, I went junkyarding and got 2 sets of shackles.

The shackle on the left is from a 1999 Explorer, the shackle on the right is from a 1996 Explorer. Only major difference I can see is the round slot in the sides.

So, which set of shackles do I use on my 1999 Explorer?

Thanks for your time!
