Is the rubber/metal bushing that attaches the rear spring shackle to the frame support replaceable? It appears to be a smaller size than the 1.5 inch diameter bushing that goes in the rear spring eye. Do I have to buy the shackle assembly to replace the bushing? Shackles look good and not rusted so would only want to replace the bushing at this time. Thanks!

Yes they are replaceable. The price of a new bracket with the bushing installed is not much more than the bushing and work needed to remove the old one.

ORD will sell you a complete greasable rear spring bushing set for ~$100.
