How to Replace Worn Axle Pivot Bushings | 1995 Ford F150

So in this video, I take on the seemingly daunting task of replacing the axle pivot bushings in my truck. Good news! It's not has hard or long of a repair as you think. As usual, the repair was done to my 1995 Ford F150 2wd. #obsf150 #axlepivotbushings #ibeams The axle pivot bushings are where the i-beams or twin traction beams attach to the underside of these trucks. The mounts are attached and located under the engine cradle/crossmember. The OEM bushings are rubber and crack and wear out. This usually results in vibrations, clunking noises, misaligned suspension, odd tire wear, and sloppy steering. To replace them, you jack up the front of the truck making sure the jack stands aren’t positioned under the I beams or radius arms. This allows the suspension to droop or relax to full extension. Remove the wheel and tire. Place the jack under the hub assembly on the side you plan to replace first. Then unbolt the top of the shock and the top of the coil spring. This will loosen the I-beam assembly enough to make things easier. Then unbolt the axle pivots and pry the ends of the I-beams down. If you plan on replacing the OEM bushings with another set of rubber OEM bushings, then you will need to use a ball joint press and press the metal sleeve and bushing out. If you are replacing the bushing with a polyurethane bushings then you need to dig the rubber portion of the bushing out. Scrape out as much as you can. A torch helps burn the rubber and loosen it. Once the rubber is scrapped out, use a ball joint press to insert the new poly bushings. ⏰ Time Stamps: 0:00 Intro Welcome to The Minute Masters YouTube Channel where I (Stevie) show you how to repair and upgrade all Ford F series trucks and Broncos from 1980-1997.
