2007 Ford E-150 Radius Arm Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the front radius arm on 2007 Ford E-150?

  A: You should begin the front radius arm service by taking out the front coil spring initially. The procedure starts by discarding the shock absorber lower nut and sliding the shock absorber off the radius arm. Install the new nut by tightening it to 80 Nm (59 ft. lbs.) during the installation process. Remove the radius arm-to-axle nut and bolt and spring retainer with insulator. Discard these components and Replace them with new ones which should be torqued to 300 Nm (221 ft. lbs.) during installation. After removing the radius arm rear hardware which includes the rear nut and washer and rear insulator you will keep the rear nut for disposal but tighten the new one to 133 Nm (98 ft. lbs.) before reinstallation. First normalize the radius arm's bracket connection and remove the spacer together with insulator and washer from its position. The spring and radius arm insulators require inspection before possible replacement. After finishing the opposite process reinstall the radius arm. The suspension system requires new parts of matching part numbers only during replacements while following torque values during installation to keep the system strong.
