2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty Radiator Support Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the body/frame mount bushing for the front radiator support upper on 2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

  A: Service and repair of the body/frame mount bushing on the front radiator support upper begins with removing the lower front radiator support mount from the defective upper front radiator support mount. Maintain the opposite front radiator lower mount bolts and nuts in their place before proceeding further. All fasteners that were removed from body support mountings require immediate discarding and replacement with new fasteners. Instead of removing body mount bolts on Regular Cab vehicles, personnel should loosen the four remaining bolts; installation requires new fasteners for replacement. The procedure for body mount bolt loosening should follow the same process with SuperCab vehicles for their remaining four bolts. The six body mount bolts on Crew Cab vehicles should be loosened only and left in position before being discarded for new replacement bolts. The vehicle needs to be raised only after other body mount support bolts have been made loose enough to avoid structural damage. The vehicle body needs enough elevation to remove the unserviceable upper mount before removing the insulator. The body insulator receives no lubricants during its installation process and must follow the same steps of removal to reach completion.
