The Excursion is a 2WD.

I've been having this annoying clunk and metal to metal sound on every bump on the road coming from the front passanger side. I replaced the sway bar bushings and replaced the whole tie rods and drag link. (the old one was on its way out anyway) and the sound is still there. I looked harder to see what else and I found my passanger side radius arm bushing that connects to a bracket on the frame is dry rott. The driver side is find but I might as-well as replace both of them. Can someone please tell me the part # to the bushings. I can't find nothing on Oreilly site or Moog suspensions. thanks for any help.





As you can see in the pic below, it seems that theres alot of play in the top side of the bushings,




In the pic below, it seems to be called "Insulator?"




While were at this can someone also tell me the part number to the I beam bushing? There fine but I think preventive maintenance will be needed.

 

hey caddy I know what ya mean on those bushings. I had a rattle / clunk on my 2004 and my bushing were like that with only 32k on them. I had to argue with the service manager to replace mine. They did and it didn't solve the problem. I had to eat crow. Oh and the new ones well year and a half later now they now look just like the old ones did cracked and all. I'm not saying your's will do the same or not .. just wanted to pass on my experience with replacing them looking for the bump / clunk on my truck. I'm waiting on someone to start making poly bushings for these. Good luck.

Oh the ford number is YC3Z-3B203-AA

 

The sound I get is when I put it in reverse, a light metallic pop. Not from the transmission though.
also a similiar sound more like a pop when braking, in the front. The link bushings look worn on mine, maybe i will post a photo too and get opinions. thanks

 

Thanks for the reply, Good luck is what I need right now. I got the bushings,




But how in the world do you pop the old one off? The old one seem stuck in. I spray some WD40. I don't want to pay a dealer to replace them for me, but I think I have met my match.

 

You press them off & on. BTW, you may need to insert a spacer to keep that rectangle-shaped tube from collapsing when pressing them off & on.
