Hello All,

I have a 95 F150 that I'm going to try to save. I got into a front end collision and the result is that the passenger side trailing arm is bent.

Def: Trailing Arm - I was told that is what they are called. It is the arm that connects to the lower ball joint and then runs back towards the rear of the vehicle and gets connected to first a rubber bushing and then to the sheet metal.

Due to the arm being bent the steering assembly is rubbing up against another part of the truck and making it difficult to steer.

Other than the trailing arms what else should I be aware of? What else might I want to replace in the process?

Thanks

Tom

 

If the radius arm is bent that bad, you may also have a bent i beam( the part that runs from the wheel to the middle if the frame). have a frame shop check all the frame points for squareness and no twist and if it all checks out replace the suspension pieces only. PLEASE use a quality frame alignment shop. Expert knowledge is worth it when it comes to this area(any other for that matter) but if you skimp here, you will never have a truck that is safe
