Front leaf spring !
Do any of the sponsors have the front leaf spring pads,
or whatever they are called ??
Also, on the end of the springs can that bushing or whatever be replaced ?? And how hard is it to do ?? Is it rubber or
that poly stuff ??

The leaf spring bushings aren't that tough if you go with the polyurethane since they are a two piece.
If you have never removed leafsprings before, read up on it first and be very careful as they can hurt you bad or kill you if you don't get the tension off of them before you remove them.
The spring insulators are a Ford item : part # 1C3Z5B302AA
If you are doing all these do your sway bar and sway bar link bushings too
You'll be happy you did these when its done.
Good luck,
Austin

Where can I read up on removing the leaf springs ??
I did a search but it kept bringing me back here......
Someone must have tips, or knowledge to help ...
Or is replacing the end bushings best left for a front end shop ??
