Ford Econoline There's more to the Econoline's staying power than Ford simply sticking with a product that has been the No. 1-selling full-size van since 1980. The Econoline has received only minor changes over the years. The result is a cargo van that looks different, but is still very much the same. For many E-Series customers, that is the best news of all.

Raise your vehicle and support it using jack stands remove both front tires as this makes it easier to get at the radius arm. If your van is equipped with sway bar remove all 4 15mm bolts from the mounts. Allow that to drop down. There are 3 15mm bolts holding the radius arm mount to the frame remove those. On the actual arm itself is an 1 1/8" nut remove that. the radius arm mount will drop down enough to allow you to remove the inner bushings. Replace them in reverse order in which you remove them. Replace the mount and sway bar bolts.
