Check if the hole in the axle and the new bushing have a taper. I'm beginning to think the old Ford stamped control arms were tapered to keep the bushing snug.

Re: Stub axles - like new after sandblasting

Looks familiar. The rubber bushing is encased in a metal sleeve . It is the sleeve that is difficult to separate from the the axle. I seem to recall it may have been tack-welded.

Re: Tow Capacity and the 80% rule

We had planned on installing vinyl plank in our trailer. But everything I had read recommended against it. The issue was the effect of seasonal ambient temperature and moisture change. The planking has to float (so to speak) which requires clearance set-backs. We chose a light commercial linoleum pr...

Re: 1986 30P rear restoration journal

Nelson, I had to gut the bathroom and remove the entire floor assembly. The floor had rotted out around the toilet. There was also rot in the rear corners, as well at the openings for the water heater and service compartment for water & electrical. With the floor removed, I found the sub-frame w...
