'04 E350 Front End Bushings
Just turned 70k, I'm getting ready to replace the front shocks and install front air springs. In the past couple months the front end has started sounding a little clunky in low speed turns. What bushings should I look at replacing while I'm doing the other stuff and does anyone have a good online source for them?

HAve you checked the balljoints for that low speed clunking noise?
Lift front tires just off the ground,
put a lever under the front tire and watch the joints as you lift tire up and down.
The balljoints don't last on these vehicles, sometimes as soon as 40K miles.
I was quoted $1200 for both sides. Just did it meself.
My '05 E350 van at 170K still has all original front bushings but its on its 3rd set of balljoints.!
