Rear Leaf Spring Bushing
All, I am trying to find the correct rear leaf spring bushing for my 92 F-150 4x4. Got underneath her today and noticed they are shot, as are two of my body bushings. Advance shows 3 different Moog bushings but they all say 4wd rear. Can someone help me out?

Rear Spring-FRONT / Rear Spring-REAR / Shackle Bushing.
There are different bushings as it depends on whether the rear axle has a 10 1/4" ring gear...or not..

WB,
Just a hint to get cheaper moog bushings... Go grab your part numbers and order them from amazon. You'll get free supersaver shipping and they are a bunch cheaper than AZ, Advanced, NAPA, or O'Reillys...

I noticed my bed was shaking like crazy when going over the railroad tracks so I though I would check it out. Made sure all the bed bolts were tight, and then looked at the bushings and they were all worn out. My radiator support body bushings are worn out too, and my steering bushings look like an old ladies chachkie. Ball joints didn't look half bad though! Need to get new tie rod ends and a pitman arm bushing. Also, my front steering "dampener" is just 1 cheap blown out shock. I really need the dual dampeners.

I am in need of some more MOOG parts myself... I'm probably going to be getting all the leaf bushings and body bushings soon too... fortunatly I am already done with all my steering and suspension bushings!
The top of my head would probably blow off if I actually added up the cost of all the MOOG parts i've put on my truck now... THEY ARE EXPENSIVE, but super awesome too!
PS: are you bushings this bad yet???

Wow no. It actually looks like most of the body bushings have been replaced. Where can I get some new shock bushings? The ones from ProComp suck and have already broken down.

I know it's an 8.8, but what size is its ring gear? Parts catalog shows different bushings...with/without a 10 1/4" ring gear.
Don't know? Post the AXLE code found on the white Certification Label, glued to the B pillar (door post).

8.8" is the ring gear! 10.25" is a Sterling that comes on 250-350's. Yeah I am 4x4. I really just need the top bushings for the front, the ones between the saucer washers. Would really like some poly ones so they dont crack out again.

the 8.8 takes 10.25 ring gears? huh... I would have seen that in the catalogs and thought that it refers to the Sterling 10.25in rear end and just bought the other parts... LOL... Learn something new every day!

As for the front shocks.... Call moog or energy suspension and ask them which universal kit will fit your truck... Ask for a Front Upper Shock Bushing kit...

I bought a new 1992 F150 2WD Lariat Super Cab, but what size ring gear it had, I dunno.
The elephantine behemouth Stupor Crew in my sig has a 9.75" ring gear, cuz it's got the trailer tow package.
