Help!! trying to find some bushings

One_live95 · 05-18-2006, 10:19 PM

I got a set of upper control arms, but the bushings in the axle housing are torn just as bad or worse than the ones in the control arm are.

All i want to replace is the ones in the axle housing, and all i have seen are kits to redo the whole rear. What are my options.

One thing i did see is that Maximum Motorsports sells the rubber bushings, but they didn't say if they were stock replacements, or the harder durometer rubber than stock.

tell me which ones to buy, or which ones you run and what kind of success have you had.

thanks

Ford sales the original rubber axle housing bushings. You definately do not want to do polyurethane or any type of solid bushings unless they are spherical.

i guess i will go with the stock rubber style, i have the Maximum Motorsports tool on order as of now, i was just kinda worried cause the ones that were in there were torn pretty badly.

not that bad of an install though so no biggie
