66 F250 Radius Arm Bushings

Installed new radius arm bushings. I bought them locally, but you can find them online for around $17 without shipping.

Noticed the driver's side bushing has split on my 65 and been putting replacing off, video makes it look easy, to a certain extend, gives me some incentive to take on the project. Thanks for the 'how to' video.

There are a lot of 'real' videos out there on how to replace them, so I didn't go into a big video production. I just wanted to highlight the big items. It's not that bad really.


Oh... the radius arm nut and the lower spring nut both use a 1 1/8" wrench. The lower shock bolt uses a 3/4" wrench.

Replaced the bushings many years ago with the front disc upgrade; however, done during assembly and recalling disassembly process somewhat vague over the years, along w/ other 'Senior' moments. One reason that I have not been motivated is the thought of dropping the I Beam so decided to give it a try w/out although probably disconnect the shock. Called local Napa store and they will have the bushings with next day or so. Thank you, video got me motivated.

I did it that way too, but while your add it you might check the pivot bushings and king pins. !!
