Urethane bushings for A-arms?
Does anyone carry these? I'm just about to buy a complete set of A-arms from someone, and I will be lowering the truck with springs at the same time. I'd love to throw some bushings on it also. Anybody know a place that sells them, and do you possibly have the part #'s??
I'm buying the A-arms because they came off a 99 after about 200 miles, it got lifted I guess? I'll have to get the lower balljoints done, but it's great deal to get the uppers and lowers at the price I may be getting them for. Anyone see any major problems with using used upper A-arms? Thanks guys.,,,,98

Hey Screamer, there wont be any problems with used A arms themselves so long as they have'nt been in a wreck and gotten bent. You plan to replace all the moving components that usually wear anyhow so that is no issue.
I could'nt tell you where to get the bushings but if memeory serves me well I remember that those urethane bushings were notorious for being squeeky ! That may be different these days though.
Good luck.

Hopefully these are available as a pkg.,,,,98

Miguel,
If you wait just a bit you will be able to get the A-arm bushings from Energy Suspension in San Clemente, CA. They are going through R&D fitting for later model F150s right now (started on Sept 9) for all of the bushings on the chassis and suspension.
Contact Nathan Terry at Energy Suspensoin: 949-361-3935 to find out when the bushings will be ready for distribution. His email address is: nterry@energysuspension.com

I'm with 98 it's about time they got a kit out there. By the time it's out they'll have to start over again for the new F150.
I can't wit till they have them out. I might buy them ASAP but if I keep this truck much longer I would like new bushings to tighten things back up. It will get costly to have some of the bushings pressed in. Lots of work to get all of them pressed in too.
