Hydro Bushings Or Not.

[Jules98GT]

Does anyone have any info as to which cars came with hydro bushings vs did not?

Why did Ford use two different bushing styles?

Getting pics uploaded to PB to edit.

Thanks!

You said edit the pictures so this may not apply, but you can upload directly to the forum from your phone or computer without going to photobucket.


The bushings, I’m not real sure. I remember having the same question when I did mine and I asked another fella. Let me see if I can dig up his response and I’ll pass it along.

Man, I remember asking the question but I cannot find the info. I’m sorry

I linked a decent explanation on another forum.

If the metal sleeve is apart of the control arm it is a hydro bushing. If the sleeve comes out with the bushing it is not. I swear I took pictures at the shop today after I removed the old ones I must've been day dreaming. I still have the old bushings I'll remember tomorrow.

The metal sleeve pictured does not come out with the bushing, there-fore it is a hydro bushing.

AH! Thank you! I thought hosting pictures on the forum cost hosting space, the good old days eh? lol
