Slip Yoke Bushing
Anyone replace theirs in the 1997 F150?
Where did you get the bushing from?
I replaced my seal but it is still leaking so I am guessing the bushing is worn out.

Bushing? On the driveline slip yoke? I don't think so. You have a female sleeve yoke that slips over a male splined yoke. You have a washer type seal and a screw on cap for the female half of the two. Some are only held on with boots and clamps. No bushing anywhere. If there is too much slop in the shaft when they are together, then the stub shaft will have to be cut off and replaced or the shaft itself replaced. The female half, where the cap and seal attach, usually isn't the part that wears the most.
If you are talking about the rear end and the pinion yoke, different things. You have the seal, crush sleeve, and bearings. Speedi-sleeves are sometimes needed to keep the rear or front differential yokes from leaking. They get a groove cut into the yoke and it will allow oil to leak out.
I think we need more information to help you out. Do you need a pic of the driveline exploded to see what is included? I just don't understand the bushing part.

I haven't done it on an F150, but I've done it on many other transmissions. I usually take off the tail cone and tap it out from the inside. Theoretically you can pull it with a slide hammer, but I'm worried about cracking the aluminum tail section.
