are you replaceing, or rebuilding? advance auto has sway bar bushings, and link kits in stock. take your rear axel weight off the door, and that is the kits you need. only 2 axels that year, sterling, axel flat with drum, dana, axel goes through drum

I don't think the Dana 60 was available in '88. Your truck will have a Sterling 10.25" full-floater (most likely) or a Sterling 10.25" semi-floater (if it has a 302). The full-floater has a huge *** hub that sticks out past the wheel.

they usually don't do that, are you sure the rubber bushings that come with the link kit aren't gone? kinda look like the rubbers that go on the shocks. 1 on each side, link goes through, nut on top
