axle pivot bracket(s)?
Hey yall, started to change the pivot bushings in my truck (93 f250 7.3 Dana 50) and ran into a problem. When messing with the passenger side axle it had a ton of play and I found a few of the bolts holding the center pivot bracket on were loose and it looks like the play allowed the bracket to move just enough to destroy it. It's seeming tough to find a new set online, there's a ton of ones for the lifted trucks but almost no stock ones. LMC has one listed as RH but this is a little confusing too because would that mean passenger side axle or the bracket closes to the passenger side (which would be the driver's side axle)? the two brackets almost look the same, that mixed with only finding RH online I'm wondering if they're the same anyway. Can anyone whos put a lift on their truck chime in on the brackets being the same? or has anyone had the same problem? trying to get this twin-beam to keep an alignment has been more than a handful... Thanks!

Ive seen these brackets do this on a truck we ended up going to straight axle d60. How are the frame holes? I remember ours got wallowed out from being loose. You may be able to get them through ford still via ford dealer.
