1953-1956 C1 Rear Spring LH Front Hanger Bracket Early Design 3731147 - OEM Number(s) (3731147)
Restore structural integrity and handling performance with our 1953–Early 1956 C1 Rear Spring LH Front Hanger Bracket. This driver-side front shackle bracket mounts the rear leaf spring to the frame, securing the spring’s forward eye with a press-fit mounting pin. Manufactured from heavy-duty stamped steel, this exact reproduction matches original GM specifications for early C1 Corvettes.
In mid-1956, Chevrolet revised the rear suspension geometry by shortening the hanger bracket and raising the shackle mount to improve angle and response. This bracket reflects the correct early 1953–mid-1956 design with full-height side walls and original eyelet height.
