I am in the process of replacing rear leaf spring brackets and shackles on my 1999 Ranger 4x4. I have done this in the past on my 94 Ranger and I was able to buy replacement leaf spring bushings (they were the steel and rubber style).

This time, I wanted to replace these with the polyurethane energy style bushings thinking that it should be a nice easy install, but I cannot find them for 1998 and newer Rangers - my searches have just turned up sets for the 1997 and earlier Rangers.

Has anyone found these bushings before or is there an easy way to install these with the leaf springs still in the truck (I am only replacing rears at this time.


Thanks,

Will
 
well the earlier ones should work i have 94 leafs in my 00 and they are the same bushing size but that is explorers so dont quote me. and if you are real careful and use some jackstands you should be able to unbolt em and lift up the back to clear the bushings but you might not have enough leverage to get the bushings in and out. I would just take em all the way out
 
Thanks for the response...

In case it may be of any help, Ford offers a replacement just like original that is a two-piece rubber insert that you slide the metal sleeve into. I guess that this may be the type that was initally in there, but since I needed to torch them out I wasn't sure.

These cost me $6 and change from the local Ford dealer and were easier (and cheaper) than removing the entire leaf spring to press the bushing into the leaf.
