| I had to do that on an old bronco once, a similar setup. I supported the truck at the frame, disconnected the shocks, track bar, and radius rods from the frame. Using a come-along from the front axle I pulled it forward towards the front bumper (the coil springs were pulled from vertical, but left attached) , this allowed me to sneak the bushing onto the radius arm. Then just slack off the come-along, and the axle will move back into place. Hope this helps. Oh, and of course if its a 4x4 you'll obviously have to disconnect the front drive shaft. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1977 24' 440 Dodge on propane with propane fired hot tub |
