FordFETruck Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Can't seem to find a source for new RWD Twin I beam axle pivot bolts, for an 86 F250. I'd like to replace mine when I go to put new coil springs and offset radius arm bushings in. Anybody have a source or part number for them?

Bolt n801079-s Jim, since we're here. Would you be able to find me a part number for the upper bearings in the tilt steering column? I have found the lower already. I noticed the other day the lower bearing in my column is all worn out and sloppy. The steering in this truck has always felt kinda heavy, I wonder if that has something to do with it because nothing else in the steering system is hard to move at all. I assume the U joint in the column is NLA? that seems to be ok still and I've never felt any tight spots turning, but just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(They all take the same bearing) If by U-joint you're asking about tilt, it is only serviced as an upper shaft assembly. I assume you want 3517? That would be f23z3517-b Documentation/interior/steering columns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the upper shaft assembly that contains the U joint is E2TZ-3524-H superseded by E9TZ-3425-E and I can't really find one for sale. Oh well.

Glad to be useful. 🙂 Sorry I can't help with an upper shaft assembly but David (1986F150Six) is a wizard at scaring up NOS parts You might post a WTB in the marketplace section. I know he goes through there almost daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
