Radius Arm Bushing Order
my son and I bought a 1992 F-150 Nite edition, one of the repairs we knew we had to do was the radius arm bushings (completely gone) --- we bought the new bushings, however they came with no instructions on the order they go on the radius arm and with the old ones missing we don't have a guide...
This is the kit we have:
1987-1996 Ford F150 Radius Arm Bushing Kit Chassis - Suspension - PartsMaster, Front 87-96 F150 Radius Arm Bushing Kit Chassis - 5299-07139691 - PartsGeek
Really appreciate the help, already found a ton of useful info on this forum...
Thanks,
John

Trust me I have, none of them give you a good view / order of how the bushing go back on...I have an idea, but I am sure there is some bad side effects of getting it wrong...hopefully someone can give me the order...

Remove the coil spring and maybe the lower shock bolts.
Loosen the bolt and stud at the front of the radius arm or remove the bracket (not my preferred method) I don't like messing around with the rivets if I don't have to.
