FAQs

Does this part come with mounting hardware?

No, the Febi 42355 is typically supplied as the bushing unit only. You should inspect your existing hardware and replace bolts if they show signs of corrosion or stretch.

Can I install this at home without a shop press?

It is strongly discouraged. Using improvised tools like hammers or makeshift threaded rods can damage the new bushing or the control arm housing.

Is this a universal fit for all trucks?

No, this part is model-specific. Please confirm compatibility with your specific Ford Ranger or Mazda B-Series/BT50 variant before purchase.

Why is there no installation manual in the box?

Febi provides parts designed for professional mechanics who are expected to follow the specific vehicle manufacturer's workshop manual for the procedure.

Should I replace the bushings on both sides of the vehicle?

Yes, it is best practice to replace suspension bushings in pairs to ensure even wear and balanced handling characteristics.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty pressing the bushing into the control arm

Ensure the control arm eyelet is perfectly clean and burr-free. Use a light application of rubber-safe lubricant and ensure the press force is applied perfectly square to the housing.

Clunking noise persists after installation

Verify that all mounting bolts were tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings and check that no other suspension components like ball joints or tie rods are worn.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality material construction for longevity
  • Restores original vehicle handling and stability
  • Cost-effective alternative to dealership parts
  • Direct fit for specific Ford and Mazda truck suspension systems

Cons

  • Installation requires specialized press tools
  • No manufacturer fitting instructions included
  • Potential for difficult removal of worn-out factory bushings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this part, you must first verify your vehicle's specific chassis number against the part compatibility list, as suspension components can vary between model years. The installation process generally requires removing the control or trailing arm from the vehicle and using a hydraulic shop press to safely remove the old bushing and insert the new Febi 42355 component. Avoid using fire or excessive heat to remove the old bushing, as this can weaken the metal of the control arm. Once installed, it is highly recommended to have a professional four-wheel alignment performed on the vehicle, as suspension geometry will have been disturbed during the repair.
