Lol, check with Rocky Mountain Suspension (www.rockymountainsusp.com) for replacment bushes (bushings for us Yanks) or Jeff's Bronco Graveyard (see FTE sponsors list). Look up "axle pivot bushings" or "radius arm bushings for 80-96 F-150. You didn't specify whay year model you have, as that may help get a valid respones. JSM84
