3/4 ton +, that's why you've never seen them. you're used to looking at 1/2 ton stuff.

intresting. never knew that

Prerunner1982 · 12-05-2003, 08:08 AM

and i thought mine were bad

KShortell · 12-05-2003, 11:48 AM

Yikes!

crackajacka · 12-05-2003, 12:38 PM

so uh how'd that go again?

LOHRTBT · 12-05-2003, 12:45 PM

eek!

Kenneth · 12-05-2003, 12:54 PM

Some say something more than eek!!!
For us less knowledgeable people what should that look like? I'm assuming the fitting around the bolt is just loose and will eventually break the bolt and your truck will fall to the ground?
What is the risk?

crackajacka · 12-05-2003, 01:06 PM

theres supposed to be a rubber or polyurathane bushing there.

Fletch · 12-05-2003, 04:10 PM

Looks like that Zirk ain't seen the end of a grease gun in good long while.

**swervin ervin** · 12-05-2003, 07:39 PM

Rubber?? I want to know where the metal insert went???

Man, you are riding on borrowed time my friend.

Something tells me you don't do too much driving in adverse weather conditions.

That's not a true statement the 1/2 truck's from the 60' & early 70's have that style of cont. arm cross shaft also.

Not too shure when it was changed i think around '77 or so.

Mike,

I have a bad r/h upper aft bushing on my S10 and i'll be changing everything out soon i ordered a complete polygraphite front kit form PST for 219 bux lookie here www.p-s-t.com They do mostly muscle cars but click online catalog and go to the truck section.

I just received the parts yesterday and all the components in the kit look like top notch high quality stuff.
