Any suggestions on replacing the Pivot Bushings on a 92' F150?
I'm going to do the radius arm bushings at the sametime.

Thanks

I just changed mine. I'm doing radius rod bushings and f250 springs too. I took my axles all the way out, some guys on YouTube use a ball joint remover while the axle is still on the truck. I hammered out the center steel bushing, then cut the rubber in four places with a sawzall, then I hammered out the sleave out of the I beam. I made a puller to put the new bushing in, I used some grease on the new bushing to help the new one go in.

Last time I did a set I did them with the beams installed lik ehte guy does on this video.

That is a great video which is what gave me the idea to go ahead and tackle the job myself.

I finally received my Moog bushings for this job. I'm planning on renting one of those ball joint remover tools. I'm wondering if when I remove the pivot bushing bolt if it will allow enough forward movement to get those radius bushings out easily. That's what I'm hoping for anyhow.

When you get the bolt out you can pull the end of the I-beam with the bushing down and put a board in there to hold it down. That will give plenty of room to work. I'd start spraying penetrating fluid now on everything, better to let it soak in for awhile.

I just ordered all my parts to do the radius arms bushings and replacing the front coils with moog heavy duty variable springs... sorry not trying to high jack your thread just curious if you did your radius bushings yet? how were they? any tips? hoping this fixs the front ends need to want to come through my floor boards everytime i hit a bump in the road lol

I am still waiting for 2 nice consecutive days. I sure hope it is like a night and day difference after I get it done though. It does feel like the front end is pretty loose.

Thanks for the specs on the Penetrating oils. I am going to soak it with Liquid Wrench for sure.

This was great! I rebuilt a lot of stuff on my '92 F150 4wd, but couldn't figure out what the noise was from the front suspension. I ordered these bushings from rockauto.com for $10.87 total, going to attempt this repair now! ;-)

I posted, pulled my truck in, swapped those 2 bushings, changed oil, and it's on the ground already. Waiting for alignment rack. Air hammer is my favorite tool ;-)
