The bushings on my 97 f150 4x4 are pretty worn and I wanted to replace them with urethane bushings. I know that I saw a kit somewhere that replaced all the bushings on the truck. Anyone know where I could get this kit and about what it would cost? My understanding is that the urethane bushings are far superior to the standard rubber bushings. Would these make my truck ride better or steer better, or make my suspension work better?

just replacing my rear shackle bushings i can feel the rear end ride better. i was googling some kits and they seem to be aroun $125 for a good kit, but I cant find a place to buy them.

 

Try Jegs ?

Summit has the kits I did my front end it ran me 146. for the kit took 2 weeks to get

 

Max Energy Kit- $286

Looks like a helluva project to replace them all!

 

- Yes it does, I don't think it would be any fun either lol.

The old ones work well on my bench grinders, have them mounted between the base and the bench. Gives them a little lift and quiets them down quite a bit

 

I'd like to recommend doing this for Expeditions too.
It really firms up the ride but not to the point of making maneuvering bad. I replaced as many of my bushings as I could. I would also suggest replacing the front sway-bar bushings as this seems to have given the greatest benefit.

I also recommend installing at least one "Steering Stabilizer" if you have a 4x4 with larger diameter wheel/tire setups.
I've been using 285-50-R20's and the ride is really good.
(for a "street" vehicle)

 

thats one thing to do with them!

I think I might do my A-arms and minor suspension components. no way I'll be pulling the cab off anytime soon
