Radial Arm Bushings

I am in the process of replacing the bushings on my 94 limited. I removed all teh bolts/nuts and I see 2 metal studs holding teh arm to the frame. Do these need to be torched off?

Do you mean the control arms?

Yes, they are the control arms.

Well I will post the procedure straight out of the book tonight. If you still need it.

Yes, I still need it, thanks

There are a few things different depending on if you have a a 4wd or a 2wd. I will note the differences.

Remove the spring assembly. On 2wd remove the spring lower seat from the radius arm. Remove the bolt and nut securing the the radius arm to the front axle and front bracket.

On 4wd remove the spring lower seat and stud. remove the bolts securing the radius arm to the front axle bracket.

from the rear side of the radius arm bracket, remove the nut, rear washer, shield (passenger side only) and insulator.

Remove the radius arm and remove the inner insulator and retainer from radius arm threaded end .

That should do it. Sorry my scanner is messed up so I can't send the pics.
