Rusted Front Coil Spring Towers
I have a 1995 f-150 4x4 4.9 5spd. The front coil spring towers are rusted through. This is the part of the frame that the coil spring and shock attaches too. It is part of the frame. What is the correct name for this part and can it be replaced? If so do you have a supplier?
Thanks.
Thanks.

You have the correct name. Yes, they can be replaced. You will have to remove the rivots(drill, grinder, air chisel). Just replace with grade 8 hardware.
Also, be aware there is a brake hose that runs through the bracket. It is held tight with a spring clip(dealer only item).
BroncoGraveyard has replacement towers as well as your local dealer. My dealer was actually a little cheaper, but needed to special order parts. So, I got them from BroncoGraveyard as they are local to me, about $100 per side.
Might as well replace the rubber brake hose while you have it all apart for good measure.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.

They are available from dealers still. There was a post about a month ago that had alot of good discussion. My local FORD dealer was able to get them in 2 days I recall, maybe one. If they can only get the "dual shock" design they will work just fine, even if you have the single application.
If you need any help or pointers post or PM me.
Definetly replace the following:
Tower (duh)
Rubber brake Line
Shocks
USE GRADE 8 HARDWARE
Anything else you do, is up to your as you see fit, shouldnt take long at all
