To get the rear bushings replaced that are connected to the leaf springs on my 98 F150?

Would it be better just to replace the whole setup?


I have a VERY annoying squeak and want to get that fixed, I tried lubing the bushings, but it only worked for about a day then started up again

 

im haveing athe same problem and i was just looking at advance aouto online an the have energy suspension brand polyurethane rear leaf sping bushing for 58.99$

 

However I heard the installation was a bitch.

Is there any truth to this?

 

Very likely so. I've never done them on a ford so I may be wrong on this, and since I'm presently in Iraq I can't walk out the the truck and take a look. This is just a guess based on the experience of replacing leaf spring bushings in a different vehicle.

They aren't a bitch to do, if you have a press. I believe the one we had in the shop was a 10 ton press.
