Bushing and Bracket Replacement in a 95

Source: by bds3795

Yesterday I realized that I needed to replace my radius arm bushings and brackets as they were worn out, and the holes in the bracket were out of round. The service manual states that you have to take apart the front suspention, but that isn't true if you want to replace the brackets too! Sorry, i don't have any pics, but it was a real easy job.

The drivers side radius arm was held on by 3 rivets and one bolt. Two rivets on the bottom of the frame, and one in the top hole. The rear most hole had a bolt in it.

I tried to chisel the rivets off, but they were just too stubborn. I ended up torching off the heads and popping the rivets out of the hole. Be careful when you are using heat because your fuel lines, and some wiring run down the frame.

Once the rivets and bolts were removed the bracket and the radius arm dropped down enough to allow the bracket and the bushing to be removed. Be sure to clean the end of the radius arm to ensure that the new bushing seats all the way around.

Now it is time to put it back together. I used grade 8 bolts to replace the rivets. Put the front half of the bushing on the radius arm, then the bracket. I had to use a bottle jack to get the radius arm up far enough to line up the holes. Tighten the bracket down, then you can assemble the rest of the bushing. Torque the bushing to 120 ft/lbs.

The passenger side was the same, except there were no rivets, just 4 bolts. The bottom pair of bolts were linked together with a bracket so you don't have to use a wrench to get them out. The passenger side needed a pry-bar to pull the radius arm down far enough to get the bracket out, but other than that it was exactly the same as the drivers side.

Total time, two hours. Two brackets from ford: $56, advance auto bushing kit: $17 for both sides.

This was performed on a 100% stock 1995 ford bronco 5.8. The suspension has never been touched and was ford factory fresh.
