Questions & Answers
Both sides of the bushings are included in the Moog K80007. Thank you
I installed them on my 4WD Explorer and they functioned perfectly.
If your truck matches the years, they should work fine. When it comes to the performance, It's a difficult question to answer. Yes, if they're old and worn out.
PU is one of my favorites.

I'm sure these will outlast the rubber ones because they're well-designed and strong. br>br>This part fits my 1992 F350 Dually 2wd with a 460 engine. br>br>Note: br>This section is unrelated to the Moog bushings. If your radius arms aren't 100% straight into these bushings, these bushings are stiff enough to throw off your alignment, so buy the correct angled bushings or have these down to correct alignment. Ford designed these trucks to have a plethora of areas that can cause alignment issues, and this is one of them (which I would not have guessed). You'll be fine if you don't touch anything else besides these bushings. When I installed these, I replaced the front springs with new stock springs, which caused my radius arms to be a degree or two off, and I should have purchased an offset radius arm bushing.
When I hosed off the salt from a recent snowstorm, a large chunk of the original rubber bushing came off, and I could see the missing gap. I began my search on message boards and enthusiast websites, where everyone raved about Moog products, particularly this set of bushings. After searching the obvious online auto part stores, I began to wonder if I should simply visit my local Ford dealer and have the part ordered for me. Then I found Amazon through a search! I was under the impression that they only sold books, movies, and wheat-related products. There is no cost to you. So, I came across this set of bushings and decided to tackle it over the weekend. The radius arms, however, end up on a bracket that is riveted to the frame, so no such luck. So I went to my local Masonic brother's shop, and he took care of everything. He requested the Ford kit from the beginning, presumably because it includes a metal sleeve that wraps around the arm and contains the rubber bushings. This has to be a brand-new after-market product. Because the Moog kit does not include it, Ford came up with this idea. My brother mechanic and I, on the other hand, could tell that these bushings were of the highest quality. The "clunk" has vanished, and the ride is now pleasant. Every day, I enjoy commuting to work in this gas guzzler. I can now let my wife drive it with the kids in it without being concerned about the wheels falling off! (I'm being a little dramatic here. ) Moog is a well-known aftermarket audio equipment manufacturer. 4X4 enthusiasts' auto parts market - As a result, they avoid producing garbage - Only the best parts are used. There is no way to go wrong with the quality or the price.
My 5" lifted Bronco was a perfect fit. My previous set, which I purchased from another Urathane company, did not include the cup set and cracked after two years. A fantastic company that is proudly manufactured in the United States of America!.
Because I couldn't find 4wd control arms for my 1994 Ranger, I decided to use these instead. In addition, holy cow. Suspension has a fresh feel to it. There is no longer any clanking and the turning is much better. And my tires are now perfectly straight. These are far superior to the rubber ones. Now the truck appears to be brand new.
I put these in a couple of weeks ago. Everything went smoothly, and the best part is that my truck is no longer clunking under it. When assembling, I used a little grease on the surfaces, and everything went smoothly. Yes, this bushing kit is something I would recommend.
First and foremost, do your homework! These are compatible with brackets that are in excellent condition. They fit perfectly with the brackets from the K8776 and K8777 bushing kits. br>br>Advantages - The truck is extremely maneuverable and enjoyable to drive. There is no thudding underfoot, and the tracking is consistent. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this method. I'm concerned because there's a lot of "spread" or "cold flow. " When the assembly lube wore off, they began to sqeak after a short period of time. Before doing the thankless and inconvenient job of replacement, I wish someone had written instructions about different lubrication or adding grease fittings. br>br>I'd be cautious about installing these in damaged brackets that are "oblong. " It is necessary to have a clean and precise fit/torque. Make sure you get new radius arm nuts from Ford, as they are one-size-fits-all. time use. br>br>If these last a year and don't creak, I'll raise the stars. br>br>Be sure to think about grease fittings and lithium-based grease if you want a creak-free system. Truck is provided for free. br>br>Next time, if I can find them, I'm thinking about rubber bushings; who cares if they only last ten years. Due to the "cold flow" of the material, these may not last more than a few years. br>br>For 1, I knocked stars. Instructions were not given. No grease is recommended and there is creaking. br>br>Gave stars for fit and restoration of a sloppy handling, clunking truck to a safe straight riding truckbr>br> br>br>2 YEARS LATER UPDATE: br>br>Creaking noises are mostly gone now, and it appears that some of the silicone grease spray I liberally applied a few times to isolate the noise helped a little. The bushings work fine despite the "cold flow" of material. I had the caster and camber checked during an alignment - they were fine. all good. When I replace the bushings again, I'll make sure to include grease fittings in the brackets so I can inject synthetic or lithium grease as needed. One star added because the bushings have lasted so far, and the truck, which is 22 years old, tracks straight.
I installed these on a 1995 Ford F150 XLT Extended Cap with a 5. 9L engine. 8L. They look great and have improved the ride; they're a great upgrade over the worn-out Ford original bushings.
Although the bushings are of excellent quality, a diagram would have been extremely useful. My old bushings had deteriorated to the point where I couldn't use them as a model, and a Google search to find the assembly order took time when a 2 cent piece of paper could have been included instead.
