1997 F250HD D50 Poly Axle Pivot Bushing?
1997 F250 HD 4x4 460 w/ZF5 and stock D50 front axle
I am breaking down and asking is there a poly Axle Pivot Bushing available for the 1997 D50 or do we just stick with a quality rubber replacement like MOOG?
I have searched, read, re-read posts here and all over the internet over and over again and all I can come up with is through 1996 you are good to go with Poly. But somewhere I saw something that said for 1997 the D50 design changed and the Energy Suspension bushing doesn't fit. ES seems to confirm this as all the fitment guides list only up to 96. I'm not married to ES, they just happen to be a go to brand for poly stuff. Planning out a full front & rear end suspension & steering rebuild of the wear components and this is the last item on the list.
Anyone have any input? TM
