If those are the blue MOOG bushings........they are junk! Got them on my Bronco and they are noisy.....pops and snaps when turning......even lubed!! (I think they're plastic) Did them on my bosses old F150 with the same results! I've got urethane radius and pivot bushings.....just gotta install them!
