Can you take it to Ford (the front diff) or is that not an option. What about those guys in Sacramento, where Oxfordraptor use to go. Think that was him.

thats forged offroad.

i ended up using a torch to heat it up and hammer out the middle. took a flat blade screwdriver and chiseled out the rubber. used my airsaw and cut the outer metal on the bushing

cut it from the inside and checked every few seconds to make sure i didnt cut any farther than i needed to

question. i cant get friction modifier tonight. didnt know i needed it. am i ok to drive 40 miles without it? need to go home and then back here in the morning where i can get some. just highway and city streets. no offroading.

@FordTechOne if you are around, a little insight would help. i also have 80w90 gear oil as stated in the supplement ok to just fill and leave room for the 4 oz of modifier tomorrow?
