mhm, more info would help a lot. Like what year is it? Just in case, maybe engine size, transmission... that sort of things. Rockauto.com has them. You will have to drill out the rivets and get replacement bolts.

It’s a 2001 with a 3.0L V6 engine and automatic trans. It’s been in a car accident last year. And I have the time to fix it now. I just don’t know how because I’ve never seen this kind of damage

As Grumpa said, the parts are available at Rock-Auto, I checked.
You need a new spring shackle and quite possibly the rubber bushing inside the leaf spring.
When you remove the leaf spring from the shackle and the spring is twisted, you may need to replace that too.

Thats a leafspring shackle. I actually have a spare one I was gonna toss but ended up taking it with me when I just moved I guess you can have it if you want? It's a littler rough from grinding off the rivets, but will work perfectly. Trust me, I put one that looks WAY worse on my truck because I coudn't find this one.

Sure I’m interested. I live in Florida. But do you think it’s better to spend the 40 or more dollars on a new one or that one?
