Question for you guys I searched but couldnt find an answer. What bushing set would be the best for the money. I found one at BroncoGraveyard.com But was wondering if any of you have used a different brand or different set. I thought I read some where that there were a greasable set available. The local Ford dealer wanted $95 a piece for the drop links. He said they are different from the original ones. Thanks for the help.

 

Just get all new links. $20 shipped on eBay for OEM Doorman links per side

Alot of people like Moog as well. More cost though.

 

I got some Dorman bushings off Ebay that were Dorman and they were cheap and the quality was top notch.

 

Most of what you will find are the whole new link with bushing. Swaybar bushings..?? Pick a poly bushing and install...really no matter the mfg on that.

Good luck

 

Best bushing set for the money would be from Energy suspension

So I got the bushing set and removed the sway bar. I didnt notice that the left and right drop link are different. So question 1 what side does the different links go on. And question 2 where do the washers go. Thanks for the help!

 

I think that crooked one goes on the pass exhaust side and that oval washer on it is a heat shield. Those bolts go through the top frame anchor but make sure they aren't loose in there.
You will see when you go to put it together.

 

You can get those sway bar bushings from your local auto parts store for peanuts and you can easily return them. It's easy to get the wrong ones due to different bar thicknesses.

 

Not really.

 

Any chance you have a part # I could search for the rubber end link bushings (bottom to be specific)?

 

it is easy to see what bushing goes where I just didn't notice what side they were on. The set is from Energy suspension $39. It comes with 4 washers. Do you guys know where the washers go? Thanks again. Oh by the way the beast rides nice without the sway bar in it.

 

I meant the 2 bushing/mounts that go on the bar. I would just them from a local ap store. They have numbers there too.

 

They ride good on uneven dips and off road with no bar because they don't throw you around. I can't remember where the washers go, just put them in the most likely place when you put them back.
