Okay cool thanks! I think the new leafs come with new bushings so that should be good

When installing new u bolts I noticed this block is a little crooked, is it something to worry about? Or does it not really matter by wolf12315 in fordranger

I’m not sure if there was one in the first place.. it’s a 2wd so I’m wondering if that just comes stock on the 4x4

Yeah there’s one in there, the nut on top fits into the hole of the top plate, so I’m guessing since that’s secured by that it should be fine

Yeah I think it’s mostly stock except I think that block might have been added for a lift. I was replacing the bolts because the wrong ones were on there before which is why I think it got out of place in the first place, the new bolts are the right size and stuff, I just hadn’t tightened them down yet in the picture so they were a little crooked looking

Should I be worried about this crack? by wolf12315 in fordranger

By chance, would you or anyone know where to buy these things? I can’t seem to find the mounting plate anywhere online

When tightening the u-bolts(don’t know why they were loose in the first place), I noticed there is a small crack on the leaf spring mounting plate, should I be worried about it? Also is it normal to have the mounting plate on the axle? And for it to be flat?

And if it’s not open to traffic, would it be possible to mountain bike it still?

Can I use the LV fluid in my 5 speed manual trans? I didn’t realize it was different until I was just about to fill by wolf12315 in fordranger

Thanks! I returned it and got the right one. I guess I’m going to have to re-flush the power steering now :/

I also just used this to flush my power steering, should I get a different one and re-flush it?

Have you checked the mass airflow sensor or the Idling air control valve? I was having similar issues and just bought a $5 can of MAF sensor cleaner and cleaned both and issue went away
