[silver]

any advice on replacing radius arm bushings on a 94 sport please?

use a lift. and get polyurithane bushings so you dont have to do it again.

Personally I find that drilling the old rivets out and replacing them with grade 8 bolts is the easiest way to do this. As others have said there are soe real good threads on here about this.

I hear use 7/16 from some and use 1/2" Grade 8 bolts from other which is the correct size ? I know you want them tight in the holes to prevent shifting...

 

[irishpilot]

yeah and how long should the bolts be?

thanks

Don't use polyurethane unless you don't mind noise and a harsh ride.
