Front Radius Arm REAR Bushings

[pcf_mark]

Can someone share good pictures of the rear of the radius arm bushings properly installed? I am getting a fair amount of overall loose feeling in must front end and a quick inspection I have an air gap between the bushing flange and the frame bracket. This may have been there and I never noticed but I am trying to track down any free play in the front end.

Thanks!

Full size 78 Bronco, but maybe the same?

Thanks! This show details of the hardware I should double check that. I am looking for an actual on-the-truck installed picture if anyone has one they can share.

Yes I am aware that is a full size Bronco, and there might be differences. It is 14* here, so I am not running out to take a pic of an actual one until spring. Lol

This is a "degreed" (angled) radius arm bushing but this is what it should look like.

Oh yeah mine does not look like that! I can spin the washers by hand. The nuts is down to the shoulder on the radiius arm I either have bad / incorrect bushings or they are just squished.

Thank you both!

This is the WH standard poly bushing.

the bushings probable squished ..but the washer at the nut end should have a smaller inside diameter then the front washer,,The back washer should slide on the threads and bottom out on the step .with the nut being torqued and then tighten to the hole for the cotter pin .To add Duffs recently sent washers that I did'nt use because all 4 would slide over the stepped area and that's not right,,I just reused the OE washers.I've used poly and last install was rubber bushings and they both look like oldtimers picture..
