Radius arms question: to fix or to replace?

[4everFORDs]

Hey folks,

I am new to your guys forum, but am quite familiar with Ford trucks. So that's the reason I joined you guys. And now need an advice from someone who is experienced in suspension stuff. So, my truck is an '07 F150, and I live in the area where roads are frankly speaking so-so. That is why I did not pay much attention at the condition of my radius arm bushings, though I had to. So, here is what happened. With time, the bushings became badly worn and those holes ovaled out. So when I finally got the new bushings in, that clunking did not disappear... Now I am wondering, is there any way to fix the radius arms, or now I have to replace them?

Thanks in advance, guys!!!

Will see if they sell these separately.. But if you're saying to do so apparently they do. And they should definitely cost less than the whole radius arm assemblies, as yesterday I was already searching for these...
Thanks for help, you made my day J

The ones pictured are new ones I bought for my Ranger. However I'm pretty sure you can still buy them new for the F-150. I think I paid $90 shipping included for these Moog parts brand new

Yes, yesterday orderd a kit for my F-150, $84+some shipping (https://www.carid.com/radius-arms/). Also got a set of new bushings, to keep then handy just in case... As you know, it's better to replace those bushings and keep driving fine, than get into a troule with replacement of those mounts... Thanks for your help, man. Cheers!

No problem glad I could be of some help. I do have a thread on here where I posted pictures of replacing the radius arm brackets on my Ranger.

They were riveted in and I just ground off the heads of the rivets and popped them out.

How long did you drive with the new bushings in the old worn out holes? I'd replace the bushings while you're at it since you got em

Around a week or 10 days at max. Sure thing, will get these guys replaced, man. As that bumpy ride drives me nuts haha
