There has been much discussion on this here. Do a search on the bushings and include radius arm(s) in different aspects to see all the info.
Get ready with pad and pen or simply cut and paste to narrow your opinions - they are many!!
Good luck and let us know your plan of attack!

Most of the people cut out the rivets and replace them with bolts on the radius arm mount and then change it by pulling the bracket off of the radius arm. Make sure you have the radius arm properly secure before you take off all the bolts. It would probably be a good time to get 2 new brackets from ford and replace the old one, since they are known to crack, especially if you use poly bushings.
