92 4wd ranger
I had a bad clunk when I hit the breaks in my ranger and it was also present when turning with 4wd engaged. Replaced the rotten and loose radius arm bushings on the spindle side of the radius arm and now the clunk is half as bad when i brake or turn in 4wd.
Shook all the suspension parts by hand and everything seemed to check out... then I tried spinning the tires with the breaks on and low and behold my whole drivers side beam/diff rotates with the tire!
What is the name of the bushings in the open end of the radius arm that connects to the beam? I’m pretty sure that is what I need to replace or I should just save up a bit and get a bushing kit that replaces all the bushings in the front end. My Haynes Manuel doesn’t have pictures of the bushings so I’m not sure what I’m looking for and I’d rather not pull it apart till I have the new parts so I can move it around in the driveway.
