What brand are the OEM axle bushings? Ford bushings are expensive, and the parts store rubber bushings are 1/3 the price...but who makes the bushing for Ford?? Moog, Raybestos, ACDelco?? A few people have told me the Ford's are rebranded bushings, but i want to get the same ones.

Does anyone have a set? If so, is there a brand or any other markings on them other than Ford??

I already have a set of Energy Suspension poly bushings...but i want to run OEM rubber instead here

I used these Ford bushings from Maximum Motorsports. I also got the install tool. It did make it easier.

They use the same bushings in the twin I beam setup on the trucks. At work we order the moog replacements. I knock them out with a air hammer. And use a ball joint press to press them back in.

I was wondering the same thing myself. Have you seen the FRPP kit, its not too bad of a deal.
