Three ?'s

Hey guys- 1)I know this sounds dumb, but how can you tell if your radius arm bushings are shot? What to look for? 2) Can a faulty automatic hub that locks in when in two wheel drive cause the front diff. to hop. 3) Any manufacturer out there make composite boxes for older trucks. Mine is a 96. I know that they are availiable fo newer trucks. Also looking for a frame for a 1996 reg cab longbox. Thanks

I can only answer the ? on radius arm bushings, jack up the front end and grab a crowbar, put the pointed end on top of one of the bushings and try moving it up and down...when mine were cracked in half moving the crowbar up and down would move the whole radius arm about 3" up/down
