I'm with you on that irace. I got my leaf sring bushings. esof replacement seals, axle seals, waiting on my tie rods to come in. When i break mine down for the leaf sring bushings I'm replacing everything. I sure don't want to do this twice! I figure with how it's not that expesnsie just for the parts, it's the labor that kills you. But me and a friend and some brewskis, I THINK we could get it done in a weekend.
Question Energy Suspension
- Thread starter JRJ04
- Start date
Well, after a little over year my sway bar end link bushing are shot again. I'm not going through the mess of getting them from Ford, so id like to get them from energy suspension but was looking at their website and havent a clue as to what i need.
Surely someone has ordered them before and knows what i need?

HOLY CRAP
Never again...that was an absolute nightmare getting that done. I had a propane torch, heat gun and hammer. I'm sore from whacking at those things so hard, and actually bent the housing the bushings to into from hitting them so much
And on top of all of that...the damn things squeak now. They are not easy to pull back apart to grease again so this will be a trip...
Word to the wise...unless you have welding equipment/a really good torch that will get those SOBs HOT (and I mean like glowing red)...dont attempt this on your own, cause you'll get so darn frustrated.

Great!!
I need to replace EVERYTHING on the front of my truck. Your post makes me want to take it in to a shop an pay for it! How much would it cost to have ALL the bushings in the front replaced??JRJ04

Great!!
If you have a press, or a way to get the links HOT HOT HOT...it should be a piece of cake.
I had neither, thus it was hell.
