Product Details
This Whiteline Front Strut Rod to Chassis Bushing Kit fits the 1973-1979 Ford F-100. It is listed for the F-Series chassis. The kit contains 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Whiteline part number: W81073. This part is for the front of the vehicle.
Braking pushes the wheel rearward, and that load goes through the strut rod and its bushings. Rubber that has compressed lets the control arm move more than it should, so a firmer bushing keeps the arm located under braking. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect a moderate job of about 2 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Other Whiteline parts we list for the F-100: Front Sway Bar Washer Kit, Body Mount Bushing Kit, and Front Shock Absorber Upper Bushing (Koni Shocks Only).
Features
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
