The PROTHANE 65-79 Ford F100 Axle Pivot Bushings 2WD (Part #6-604BL) are polyurethane suspension components engineered to replace the original rubber bushings on Ford full-size trucks from 1965 through 1979. These axle pivot bushings support the front axle assembly and allow controlled articulation during suspension travel. The polyurethane construction provides dramatically improved durability and resistance to deterioration compared to aged factory rubber, restoring suspension geometry and reducing unwanted movement in the front axle pivot points.
Constructed from high-durometer polyurethane bonded to cadmium-plated steel components, these bushings offer superior resistance to oil, ozone, and UV exposure—common causes of rubber bushing failure in vintage truck suspensions. The polyurethane formulation maintains consistency across temperature extremes, preventing the hardening or softening that occurs with deteriorated rubber. The kit format includes all necessary components for a complete axle pivot bushing replacement on 2WD F-100 models, making installation straightforward for those performing their own suspension maintenance. Polyurethane bushings are stiffer than factory rubber, resulting in more responsive steering feedback and reduced suspension slop that accumulates in aging chassis.
This product addresses a critical wear point on 1965-1979 Ford F-100 trucks where original rubber bushings have typically deteriorated after decades of service. Mechanics and restoration enthusiasts rebuilding classic Ford trucks routinely replace these components as part of front suspension restoration. Whether performing a complete frame-off restoration, modernizing an aging work truck, or simply addressing worn pivot bushings that cause loose steering, this PROTHANE kit provides a proven solution. The upgrade is essential for anyone seeking to restore proper suspension geometry and eliminate the loose, unpredictable feel that worn bushings introduce into the steering and suspension response of vintage F-100 platforms.
