Question Suspension Bushings?

Where would I get a complete set of bushings for a E150? Right now I am sourcing parts, I am replacing the brakes, suspension, and some engine work. Thanks.

Energysuspension has polyurethane sets for vans. Extreme duty sets too.

If it is an older model you might have some luck at Advance Autoparts of all places. It's where I have found bits for my 78e150

I looked up Energy Susp. and they have a "Hyper-Flex master kit" for the '92 -'06 E-series. Is a '84 E-series going to have a completely different suspension setup?

What did you find out? Did Energy Suspension have anything for your 1984 van?

I found a limited amount of info on it. They seem to have only the newer style bushing kits unless the kit can be used on the earlier models.

Here is a place you can but it specifically for a '84:

Here is the truck inventory at the main site:

Hope it helps. Does anyone know if the '92 and up suspension is the same as the '75-91?

Yeah definitely don't mess with the dealer. Last I heard they only carried very inferior rubber parts. Get the urethane stuff from EnergySuspension.

EnergySuspension carries all sorts of bushings.
If they do not have a kit for your vehicle, if you measure the part dimensions they will have a match. Guaranteed. It seems unlikely that they would not have a cross reference guide though. I mean like they never dealt with an E150?

When I strip down the suspension this summer I'll take an inventory of the bushings on it and measure them and then see what they can offer me. They have a full kit for the '92 and up, I wonder of thoser would work or theyhave two different suspension systems?
