newbie needs help.. front end bushings!?

[fordtuff]

I'm scared to ask..

I'm looking for a diagram that shows the name and location of all the arms and bars on the front of a 69 bronco.
Sway Bar, Steering Arms, ect.. I don't know which is which... I would like to order all new bushings for the vehicle, I just don't know the names..

Please go easy on me...

Thanks for any help..

hope this helps some http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/c-34 i'll look and see if i can find pics of each location. as for bushings there are the radius arm bushings the arms that go from the frame to the axle one on each side, drag link bushings go from frame to axle keeps the axle stable from left to right, only other thing i can think of would be tie rod ends no bushings there though

Tks... I just want to make sure I get them all...


Thanks for your help..

one more thing on the raduis arms there are the c bushings that go around the axle and bushings at the frame mount as well.

What about the one for the steering? Goes all the way across. It has some play in it as well.

Are the c bushings for the axles hard to replace? The V shaped ones?

btw.. I'm pretty good with everything else on the vehicle I just have never worked on the front end before. Don't wanna jack anything up or get hurt trying.

is that the linkage that goes to the wheels if so they are the tie rod ends the other rod ends go from the pitman arm connected to the gear box (top one in the pic)

you can get most of the bushings you need at a local parts store, if you dont have a lift on it

My experience with C bushing replacement is its not that tough in a well equipped shop. Not something I would want to do in the garage at the house.

Worst problem I've had doing doing C bushings is getting the caps off. Like everything else on these things, frozen bolts make things difficult.
