I have a 99 ford ranger 4wd?

Question

The bushings are shot on the rear leaf springs. Nobody seems to manufacture replacements. Ford wants me to put in new springs to get the bushings. Does anybody know if a different years bushings will work?

Answer 1

as long as your springs are not worn you can order bushings through alot of different places for like 10 or 15 bucks. i just replaced the rear springs on my 99 ranger, i was able to get them through brake service for half the price ford wanted. i got the heavy duty and they made it sit up alot higher.

Answer 2

There are several aftermarket companies making and selling replacement front and rear suspension components and bushings. jamesduff.com/broncoII/bodylifts.html and jcwhitney.com are just two that come to mind. Check out your local auto parts stores. Check out ads in 4x4 magazine.
