Radius bushings
Great to be back home, and thanks in advance for all the great information from many great minds here. I have a 94 Limited 4x4 explorer that needs bushings repalced. I would like to tackle it myself and am very capable. Just wondering if anyone can give me a link to a good manual, or any advice. Any help would be greatfully appreciated.

Have been meaning to get back to you but got real busy.
2 main ways of doing this job:
FWIW: I used the second method, done in 45min.
Hope this helps
2 main ways of doing this job:
- remove the nuts and washers off the radius arms, connect an axle strap to the front axles and to a come along, pull the whole front steering/diff assembly forward until the R/A are free of the cross member, replace the worn bushing and reverse the pull.
- grind the heads off the rivets securing the cross member to the frame rails, punch out the rivets. Remove the R/A nuts and bushing, pull back the cross member and re/re the front half of the R/A bushing. Re-install cross member using grade 8 bolts/nylock nuts.
FWIW: I used the second method, done in 45min.
Hope this helps
