Pitman arm bushings? and a couple other suspension ?'s - knoxville714 - 09-13-2016
So I've got a slight lean in the rear driver side, due to the leaf spring coming undone, and was wondering if those are generic ford springs that i could maybe pull from an old F series or need to get new ones.
Also, I've got the wobble in the steering right around 40-45, and past that, the front end just starts hopping all over the road. I've been told the bushings on the pitman arm are worn, but I can't find bushings that are called "pitman bushings" anyone know if they're called something else? thanks gents

No such bushing on the pitman arm, this is a solid metal joint between the steering box and the drag link. Its more likely the drag link end (joint) has
worn out. Another common vibration in the front end is a worn track bar bushing.
As for the rear the leaf springs are specific to the bronco, any one of the bronco venders can supply them.

As Matt said, the track bar bushings are a usual suspect.
The early Bronco leaf springs are 2.5" wide. The full size Bronco and F series stuff are 3" wide. A spring repair shop might help but I don't know that for certain. The wild horses rear springs are awesome but not cheap.
