I need pretty much every bushing made for the bronco seeing as they are all rotted out. I need the suspension bushing and body bushings...everything...

Where do you guys suggest? If I'm doing the body bushings, I may as well do a body lift too, right?

She's an 84 if that makes a difference...

Thanks!

Most experienced people will tell you to never do a body lift.

www.JCWhitney.com has some bushing kits. I can't say if they're any good or not.

If ride quality is a big concern, don't install Poly body mounts, stick with rubber.

huh.... I thought poly was prefered because it will last longer. (but I dont know what Im talking about)

 

[Mrit]

yea poly does last longer. Its alot firmer though, Im guessing thats why Yak said that.

I think LMC truck has body bushings. LMC truck also needs to get off their ass and make a catalog for 87-96 Broncos!

Can't speak to the body mount bushings, hoping I never have to replace mine, but I have done suspension bushings in polyurethane.

I used Energy Suspension polys I picked up locally and at Summit. Did the rear sway bar and radius arm bushings as they were easiest. Big difference in off/on ramp cornering on the street. The original stockers were worn, but not that bad, still the polys changed the handling very much for the better.

Did the front sway bar bushings around Xmas and that really flattened out(improved) the front end's handling and stopped all the pitching and yawing. Got a set of axle pivot bushings to put in, but that looks like real actual work so I may chicken out and stock em' or get a mechanic buddy to toss them in when his shop hits a slow spot in February.

BTW Energy has a great 5 page catalog that helps identify which of the many types and sizes of sway bar bushings our Broncos have. Thay also sell an all inclusive kit. You can get to their website throughthe Summit manufactures link. And yes they come in every day-glo colour you can imagine a Road Runner coming in. I chose boring black

check Jeffs Bronco Graveyard, there are lots of bushings there but I think they might be all poly just fyi :thumbup

I bought a complete body and suspension kit for my 84 Bronco last year from Rocky Mountain Suspension (www.rockymountainsusp.com) made by Daystar. Everything but rear sway bar bushings, which onyl Energy Suspension makes, from LMCTruck.com Since I have removed both sway bars after my lift, you can have those bushings for cost of shipping if you'd like. Drop me a PM, and I'll see if I can find'em.
I've swapped out the factory rubber junk for poly's on several trucks/Broncos/etc. in the past. The ride is 100x better with poly's, IMO.

What's bad about body lifts?

 

[Dev0station]

Removing the sway bar give you more travel, right?

Removing the sway bar will yield a smoother ride and more flex.
