MOOGK8361 Radius Arm Bushing Kit for Ford F-150

Noticed a loud banging noise on the driver's side. Replaced the shocks, bearings, then the ball joints. Still a noise. Checked for loose body parts. Got under one day and just noticed the arms these are used on hanging in the bottom of the hole. Replaced these and it's perfect now. No noise. Can't say it was easy but it wasn't bad. Loosened the drivers side arm, it wasn't too bad. Used a 1 ⅛ box end trailer hitch wrench. Not the correct size, it's metric, but I didn't have the size I needed. Took out the bolt on the arm up on the front and left the spring and shock attached. Used a ratchet strap on the splash shield and on the arm and pulled it back enough to get the threads out of the hole. Went back together pretty easily. Mine didn't have the band on it like some do. Put that back together and it was good. Passenger side was a little tougher. Had to heat the bushing bolt up with a MAPP gas torch for a few minutes. Came off with a little resistance after. The ratchet strap didn't work on this side so I had to use a come-a-long fastened tot he splash shield and the axle, I'm gonna call it. Pulled it forward with no problem. Let it back slowly and had to use a scissor jack to line the threaded part back in the hole. Everything went back together pretty easily after that. Rides like it was 5 years old again, like when I bought it.

Rubber cushions varied considerably from factory rubbers, in both their shape and appearance. Nonetheless, the proper orientation is quite obvious.What I'm implying by saying, "Touchy Installation," is that I cracked and split the first bushing, when torquing the nut on the end of the radius arm to 100 ft/lbs. Initially I thought, "cheap foreign made......!" But when the second bolted down with no problem, I realized my mistake.It's very important that the bolt-end of the radius arms are inserted as far as possible through the bushing brackets. Otherwise, you risk putting uneven stress on the bushing, which in my case, could crack and split the bushing, and doing so before bottoming out the nut, at which point may then be torqued to 100 ft/lbs.

Fit 1987 Ford Bronco II 4x4 Perfect. Fixed the annoying clunking noise coming from underneath floorboards. Beware though, if your bushings have never before been changed, you must grind off/drill out the factory rivets to get the radius arm bracket off. There is another way which involves pulling the axle forward with another vehicle, but I believe drilling the rivets and replacing them with grade 8 bolts is the way to go. The Moog kit came with everything to replace factory parts. However, make sure you do not discard the heat shield on the passenger side as it protects the bushing from the exhaust manifold and the kit does not include a new one.

the back washer is flat, the factory one was cut like the front one. Didn't exactly like that but seems to go together fine so whatever

Havent installed them but Moog has been for years(I started playing with cars in the 60's) Moog was the leader for suspension parts, the proof is in the pudding.

My mechanic did not use the whole kit. It would have been a huge job to replace it all. But, he did manage to fix the problem by using the the portion of the bushing that fills the hole from the backside and snugged it down.

Instructions are not right don't remove wedding band if you have big tires they will rub...the plastic on one side broke at 70 lbs suppose to be 100lbs. had to use the old one..

The product is top notch. The problem is they don't fit a 99 E150. They are way too big and because they are made so well you can't make them fit

They are too long for the F150 comparing to the origal but they fit ok you just dont tight the 32 mm as it was .....the filet is cover flush but the nut is not deep as it was The problem comes from the plastic bushing , it is thicker. on the replacement. No modification to do....I have a F150 1996...That fine ....You will need a washer to compress the rubber few hours to put your 32mm 9 also to preserve the rubber while compressing) ....it is fitting flush.....

Excellent product

my truck and it works very well its a part that goes orr the radius arm..so both sides were replaced and works well,Thanks..
