Has anyone replaced their rusted, seized parking brake pivots on their 2009-2011 F150's and have the old ones kicking around? Any model/style of F150 from 2009 to 2011 will do. I need a left and right set, doesnt matter what condition (rusted/seized etc). I'll cover your shipping and give you a few bucks for your trouble.

Sorry can't help..., but mine looked like that after 20k miles, and 2 years. Dealership wouldn't replace them with warranty, and wanted $200 bucks to "fix" them. Said it's not a warranty item, but a maintenance item. Not sure I believe that but oh well. I re-lubricated them myself.

Just bought these parts for '99 F150 for $24. from rockauto.com. Brand is Dorman.

Method to my madness...
these are $36.00 a side around here.. that works out to about $80.00 with tax for the 2 sides. I want an old set so that I can free them up and we-work them. Mine keep popping apart (bloody crappy design with the single pin design). Freed mine up, but within a few weeks, they will pop apart...grrr... crap design!
Going to extend the pins with weld, reassemble, then pein the pin down (almost like a rivet), so that they wont pop apart. I need this back up set so that I can get them ready and do a straight swap on my truck. Otherwise the back end of my truck will sit on jack stands in my driveway for 2 days till I will have time to do the mod and reassemble.

Where are these parts on the tuck? I'd like to inspect mine too. Unbelievable they rust like the picture depicts above and and also pop apart. I'm assuming reference to parking brake is actually the emergency brake. If so, then how else are you going to stop a 2-ton moving object if you need to use the emergency brake. Seems like a real safety issue that would be subject to a recall.

Ya, they should be! Its the parking/emergency brake pivot. One end hooks on the parking brake cable at the rear wheel, the other end wedges between the mini park brake shoes. If you dont use them, they rust and seize up. I bought the truck like this. I cleaned these up and freed them up, lubed them with antisieze, reinstalled and after a month or so, they pop apart and that side will no longer work. I want a set to modify them and "rivet" the two pieces together so they cant pop apart. Crappy design!
