Yes, this kit includes both sides.
They were the same length as the originals I took out of an 01 F150.
That's what I put them on, a 1998 Ford F150 SuperCab RWD, and they're fantastic!

This is a true lifesaver. When my father died, I brought his truck home to sell for the estate, and I was immediately concerned because it made a loud clanking noise whenever you hit a bump. I expected major suspension issues, but it only took me about 20 seconds to figure out what was wrong after crawling under it on a creeper. The factory sway bar links were no longer in place. It's not worn out, but it's GONE. The bushings had apparently hardened, cracked, and disintegrated, leaving only an 8-inch bolt hanging from both control arms. br>br>After checking the local VatoZone and other parts vendors, it appeared that no-name replacements were $12 per side. Amazon came to the rescue with a kit for BOTH sides for half the price, and it's marked "Made in USA. " "br>br>It took me about 30 minutes after work this evening to complete - I can't believe how much better this F150 drives, not to mention how much quieter it is, without even taking the wheels off. Turn the steering all the way left and do the left side, then all the way right and do the right side.
I specifically requested RED urethane bumpers to replace the black ones on my steering stabilizer, but they came in black. As shown in the photo, the bolts, washers, and nuts are also not yellow zinc-coated.
Mine are black, but that's beside the point. What matters is that ACDelco appears to believe you should bring your own lubricant. Energy Suspension's Poly bushings all came with lube, whereas ACDelco's products did not. It's only a minor detail, but it's one you should be aware of. Aside from that, they're an excellent substitute. The old 1999 Ford F150 links had a plastic spacer, but this one had a metal tube. You should also get some of these if you're replacing tierod ends, sway bar bushings, or a significant portion of the front steering. Under the rubber bushings on my originals, they had corroded to half their original diameter. Dirt, salt, water, and animal juices, according to me, get trapped under the rubber and eat them away. So don't listen to your friends; if you live somewhere where it snows, you'll want to get a pair of these to go with your tierods. We have about two bad snowstorms every four years in Virginia, and my truck, which is only 16 years old and has 140,000 miles on it, was completely destroyed. I couldn't see the bolt, so everything appeared to be in working order.
Despite Amazon's parts selector claiming otherwise, this will not fit the front end of a 2001 F150 4x4. When you first put it in, it was about a half-inch too short, and even after trying everything to compress the torsion bar further, it was still about a quarter-inch too short to get the nut started. Pry bars, jacks, and c-clamps are just a few of the tools that can be used to help It was too far for clamps to reach. These bolts have a diameter of 7. It should be at least 8 inches and not less than 5 inches.
Even though they are just rubber bushings, they are well made and work fine; however, if you require the higher performance red bushings shown in the picture, you should avoid them.
These are designed and manufactured in the United States of America. as well as being of high quality The bushings are made of polyurethane and are not red as they appear in the photo. This new set has made me very happy.
The fit is perfect. This was exactly what we needed, and it functioned and fit flawlessly. I couldn't believe how low the price was on Amazon. My husband was able to quickly replace the broken part with this one because it arrived so quickly. All of the pieces arrived in perfect condition, and they arrived sooner than expected. It sounded like we had a shopping cart under our vehicle, but that was no longer the case with this single easy-to-replace part.
I had to start the nut with a crowbar because the bolt was almost too short. Aside from that, the product is excellent.
