Radius Arm Bushing Troubles

[FordTruck]

Hey guys,

I finally broke down and did radius arm bushings on my old truck. Does anyone have experience with the "new" style that come with the plastic cup? I put them all together according to the diagram that came with them and a day later I went under to check the torque on them and the plastic cups both were broken and missing pieces and the passenger side outter bushing is trying to pull through the bracket. I only drove it around the block when I noticed this and both sides were very loose.

I've seen those advertised with the cups and I was a little concerned myself.

Can you reuse your old steel cups? I bought these myself https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ens-4-7107g and reused my old steel cups. Here's how they looked installed. http://www.fordification.com/forum/down ... &mode=view

I ended up buying the same ones but in red. Haven't had any problems with them.
