I understand that the pivot bushings on my '92 should be replaced while I have it apart to do the radius arm bushings. Question is, where are the pivot bushings and what pivot do they control? Thanks
 






The pivot bushing are the "axle" pivot bushings. If you have the same front end as my 91 they control the movement of those big long "arms" that your wheels are connected to. I forget the technical term.

I want to replace mine but haven't yet. Basically it is where the arm connects to the fram at the opposite end from the coil spring.

Let me know how it goes.

Brian: Ya, that makes sense now that you mention it. Thanks for the info, I'll tell you how it went.
