Just finished replacing the radius arm bushings and axle pivot bushings on my 1987 ranger 4x4.
I torqued the radius arm bushing nut while the truck was jacked up, my service manual didn't specify on whether to torque it with wheels on the ground. Did I do that wrong?
Also had no way of flaring the axle pivot bushings on the backside. I tried to peen the lip over with a punch, but that wasn't working out well. Ended up making a few shitty tacks with my welder on the back hopefully they won't move?
