In the process of a full front end rebuild. I pulled the radius arms and I-beams out to re-bush and grease everything. While it is apart I'm doing the 3 step POR15 process on as much of the frame as I can get too. I also pulled the drag link and tie rods with brand new pieces on stand by.
I also got the front sway bar off to get new bushings, end links, and a coat of paint.
While you have the I-beams out, check the kingpins (if you are talking about a pre-92 Ford, that is).
I had to chisel about .5" of crud away from the spindles to actually see what I was working with in there. Surprised by absolutely no play in the king pins.

Glad to hear it. About five years ago I had the front end rebuilt on my 89 E150 and had to go through about six axle beams until I found a pair that was not worn beyond useability.
Left home in Georgia on May 15th, just Penny, me and our little GMC. Yesterday we set up camp outside Portland Oregon in a pretty little place called Crown Point (Corbett). Hit a truck-in, many little campgrounds, lakeside COE parks and quite a few mom-n-pop cafes on the way. It seems the more of this great land we see the more we wanna see.....makes me think about our veterans, especially this trip.... Little van turned 326,000 miles along the way here. Gonna turn over some more taking a more southern route back in a week or so. Probably won't post too much for a while. Got family to visit and, hopefully, some siteseeing to do.
