My 2004 ford Sport trac. Replacement body mount bushings. Polyurethane body mount bushings. how to replace worn out or non existing bushings. thanks for watching MUNNDAY86.
Finally someone posting a true video on this total replacement! Great video. Now i can cut down on the swearing when i do my 2001.
Yeah it was a learning process for me since there where a couple videos out there. But zero showed you how to remove and replace the bushing. If you have any questions when replacing yours. Just let me know.
I also have a 2001 sport trac and need to replace my body mounts. Wish you were closer to me in NJ.
@@mtd0766 you dont need many tools to do it. I dont have a shop and was able to do it.
@@munnday86 I've been doing some repairs. Replaced the thermostat housing unit and took the dashboard apart to replace parts. All minor stuff. Thinking about doing the front suspension after the body mounts. Thanks!
@@mtd0766 what do you need for front suspension.?
Thanks for this awesome DIY video! Like you, I have an 2004 and I needed to replace the B and C group mounts as the spongy material was rotted and shot. Didn't need to touch the A and D group mounts as they are still like brand new! This fixed all the squeaking issues, raised the vehicle a little higher and made the ride so much more stable.
Did this job about 3 to 4 years ago took me 9 to 10 hours total unfortunately I did not have an impact but the squeaking went away!!! Worth it!!!!! Heat was definitely your friend!!!
Position A and D bushings are rubber. B and C were foam. Had it been me I would've replaced all bushings because rubber squishes with movement. Polyurethane doesn't.
In a lot of cases the bolts for the front mounts (Position A) will have to be replaced. The threads will have been worn away and/or severely corroded. Replacement bolts for the front mounts can be ordered from FASTENAL. It is item number 11114576. They are M12 x 100mm, Grade 10.9, Zinc coated bolts. You'll need two.
Not everyone needs to use a torch. If someone has an impact gun it will zip the bolts right out without any heat. A big C-mouth vise grip works a lot better at keeping the lower mount shell from spinning.
Your so calm and collected just went to work and did an outstanding job...
Thank you. I try to be sometimes working on stuff that gets stuck or stubborn can easily get you frustrated...
Working on doing mine this weekend. Just a helpful hint, go to your local napa, and get a 12mm x 1.75 x 125mm bolt. After you remove the stock bolts for b,c,and d, screw the 5" bolt in from the top and tap it with a 2# hammer...popped all mine out like that. Eliminated having to get under mine so much which is a pain right now as i dont have my new lift or wheels and tires 8nstalled yet.
Are they ll the same bolt diameter for all 8?
@@jamestrads497 yeah. They are all 12mm x 1.75
I completely took all of my rear bushings out and left them out, I then found some taller bushings and installed them around the front. It left my truck popping a nice body squat! I then made it made it so my suspension was squatting in the opposite direction. Does well in the mud pits now.
I did this install on my son's 2003 Sport Trac. Since I work as an automotive technician, I had everything I needed to get this done in about 3 hours. The ones on the rear are the worst, as they're held together with internal clips. I had to use an air hammer to separate them.
But, the body was stiffer, no rattling in the doors, and a more "Connected" ride all the way around. It can be done on the driveway, but holy shit
, having a lift made everything sooooooo much easier.
thank you for making this video.
Your welcome
Not many of these 01-05’s rolling around in MA these days.
Mine is running strong with 130k on it.
This year shes getting a new rear cat and body mounts. (Inspection got me)
You folks in no salt areas are blessed. theres no way this is coming out without a torch.
Thanks for the vid help!
My problem with Poly bushings is they have a tendency to squeak... white lithium grease helps with this problem. Good Video... Thanks!
Thank you for the positive comment. I never added any grease or lubes to the bushings. Haven't had them squeak or make noise yet.
Thanks for doing this video. I wanted to do a 3 inch body lift install and had to replace my deteriorated stock bushings. Didn't want to go with new rubber, so I got the prothane kit. Installing it all today. I'm doing them all because they came in the kit and I'm already having to loosen them all to remove the bad ones. Its only smart to replace them all at the same time.
I appreciate your break-down of the install and especially for the parts and tools list. Great Job. My boys share a 2002 4x4 v6 and in addition to the front-end overhaul we're going to do these as well. Thanks for the info.

Thank you. You're the bomb! I will be doing my bushing this summer!
Anytime. If you have any questions let me know...
It's a pleasure watching your videos. I like your style.
Still driving my 2003 Sport Trac! Love your videos! I saw where you moved on to another vehicle. Glad you posted the ones you did for this ford!
Hey hows it going. I still have the sport trac and just dis a video 2 weeks ago on it.. I have several cars i feature on my channel.. so stay tuned.
WOW! Thought you sold it?! So! I was digging around forever to find info on the 12 Volt power supply in the bed of my sport Trac?! All I found was a Vlog??!! I bat lots of folks would like a video on that? Just sayin? Your videos are very well done. Saved me a lot of headaches! Really glad your still posting on that truck!
Great video, been trying to track down a creaking on my 2001 for a while now and I think this might be it. Seems to happen most during acceleration from a stop, shifting weight and whatnot.
Loving all the content, thanks for doing it!
Much appreciated. Yes go to the underside of your sport trac to see if it has any body bushings left. Stay tuned for more.
Thanks for making this video, you just saved me $1600
No problem. I'm glad I could help even just a little bit. Saving money is always a positive.
In the middle of this now. Thanks for your video.
Your welcome. Let me know if you have any questions.
@@munnday86 thanks. I know you didn't change your rear mount, but does it separate like the B and C mount? Do I run the bolt up on the bottom on that rear mount ? Appreciate it.
@@hondaslave-kd6hi the back one will be the same as the middle 2.
@@munnday86 appreciate it. That thing is stuck. I have the bolt up through bottom and wacked it. I'll give a good tap. Thanks
The underside of your truck looks amazing no rust at all
Thank you. I made a video on preventative maintinace were I sprayed the underside with rest reformer
@@munnday86 cool I'LL check it out
My sport trac has been a great vehicle. I replaced the fuel pump last week and noticed these mounts were toast. Gonna replace them soon.
Awesome let me know if you need any help.
@@munnday86 Thanks dude. I subscribed to your channel. I will most definitely need to do the front end too. It's pretty rough.
Exelente explicación lo pondré aprueba 👍
Thank you for the video it is a helpful
Thanks for the Video I'm definitely doing this on my 05 Sport Trac
Your welcome. If you need help I'm always here to answer questions.
im luvn all your videos i just got a ford explorer trac an i gotta do some lil work to it
Thank you I appreciate it. Alot more to come.
i be waiting
@@jdogi1017 ha ha thanks..
Thank you for the video is nice👍
Munnday86 thanks for posting. I picked up this same truck for my son and we are gonna be doing the same 2 bushing, so very helpful. He won’t get the truck til he gets his drivers license which should be in Nov. But more importantly where did you get that gold toy truck? That is the same color at his real truck and would make a great joke come Nov. I have been looking but haven’t found the gold one yet. Ant help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
I find them on Ebay. Maisto 1/18 scale model. The funny thing is the truck is white. I bought it used off Ebay and I think it was in a house where people smoked. Has a yellow tint to it. But you can paint them any color you want.
munnday86 thanks
Very helpful video. Thankyou! I'm going to source out spare hardware before I begin my 2002 ST is from up North and I expect all the bolts are toast.
Thank you very much. I would use PB blaster on all the hardware and soak them everyday for about a week. In order to break the bolts free. Plenty of heat aswell.
I replaced my sway bar end links and still had a popping squeaking and cracking sound. When looking, the bushings on B and C are dust. Ordered some of these bad boys and gonna follow your video. Thanks man!
Your welcome. Pb blaster and a torch will get the bolts loose
munnday86 gonna pick some up. Thank you for the video!
@@bytegeeks9834 your welcome
munnday86 has to take my a nut all the way out to get it high enough to remove the hardware
Need a impact. . 18 mm socket whip um out.. crazy same thing I am working on now.. same bushing kit to hahah..I only have one giving issues. 2 front on broke th head ,but it's a 18 mm nut and a 14 mm hex bolt. Good video thou. I got it up about 4 inches. Doing one side at a time but bolt all loose only got one semi tight so I can make it easier to center on frame don't want to fight center best to not side. I took seats outs make it a lot easier. But good thinking on the unbolting the sleeves and pushing it back through as a punch that's good shit! Front 2 bolt to get to easier there two factory holes in radiator support. Use 20 inch extention with 18 mm socket. Holes are perfect to nut.
So helpful will be doing mine soon
Have a problem lifijting the body separate from the frame won’t go up highly enough
Great video! Thanks
Your welcome
I also had to replace them all... my cab actually shifted on the frame before i realized the front ones were gone.
ugh... I couldn't get my bolts to break.. I had to use a sawsall to cut the bolt in half LOL wish I had seen this before.
Awesome video man. I thought maybe my rear Shock was leaking but now I need to check these bushings. I live in NW Indiana & can on,y hope mine come off half as easy as your FL truck! lol
yeah just remember get plenty of PB blaster on the bolts days ahead of trying to remove them. it helps. and lots of heat.
Great video! Thank you. Did you spray the underside of your ST to inhibit rust cuz it looks very clean
Thank you! Yes I did corrosion control. Here is the video czcams.com/video/3sI7BzL6wbs/video.html
That is awesome. Thanks
your welcome
Thanks for this :)
bro u have a rc version of your truck omgggg 😍
how did you do this?!?!
Great video!
Thank you much appreciated
A garage or dealership will tell you upon checking them cause of a noise complaint or just while they are under it during an inspection cause hey u got some bad body mounts here. They tell u that but than when u say about an estimate they don’t want to give u one or just say cause the bolt and such are rusted it’s not worth the time. Well if the the vehicle is 15 plus years old these going bad wearing out are very common. So why the hell won’t more mechanics do the freaking job. Not everyone is going out every few years and getting a new or semi new vehicle. I know my front mounts on my 05 Trac are worn an rusted and my main mechanic a good guy with fair pricing told me it could be a big job with getting them all loosened and not hurting anything else in the process. So I drive it without he said it won’t hurt the vehicle leaving them way they are. It still rides pretty good u just and hear an odd clunk or bump here and there going over certain bumps an such. Not a big deal frame and body is still in good condition after all these years.
Wow! Ive never seen body mount bushings that bad!!! Were they made from black licorice marshmallows???
Spent last Saturday replacing the body mounts on my 04 sport trac(adrenaline model).
5.5 hours later complete!
Your videos are the best!
The ride is so much better!
Next is the headliner, do you have a link for the material?
Thanks ahead of time!
Thank you for the compliment. Yes new bushings make it so much smoother. Tat kryptek camo headliner material is currently out of stock. Due to the pandemic.
munnday86 was the liner material just fabric or something more durable?
@@dallasmarroquin9945 it's a fabric
Good video. I have a 2002 originally from Florida, but came to Maine 8 yrs ago. Only turning 126,000 miles now. I have no creaking, but clunking. Sometimes I hear the clunk just stepping up onto the nerf bar.My suspension is tight, fairly new, control arm bushings are new, so I decided to order the Prothane kit from amazon. Looks just like your kit. I will def be using air tools, I have an impact gun and an air ratchet, and of course a torch if needed. I am hoping it goes as easy as yours did. I'm thinking the clunk is wear on the bushings, and the body mounts are just a bit loose and deteriorated. Either way, no question if the truck is 18 years old, the mounts HAVE to be shot by now. If I can, if I have to pull the bolts out of all the cab anyway, I am changing them all. I am not going to wish I had, after it's all reinstalled. Good video, thanks for your efforts!
Thank you very much. If you have any questions please let me know..
@@munnday86 Thanks, Much appreciated! I just ordered two of the bolts for the "A" bushings. Not going to get into the job to find out I can't put it back together. I looked at the "B" and "C" bushings last night. They are still there, but I could easily slide my finger in the big cracks and break them right out. There's no way they are supporting the truck as they should. Hoping I get a few warm days sometime soon to tackle the job, and hoping to hear and feel the difference!
@@munnday86 working on b bushing on drivers side. Finally got rusty bolt out, and threaded a bolt in from bottom. No amount of pounding will separate internal sleeve... bushing all over driveway. Anyone have any ideas?
Hey Munnday86! Finally had a nice day to tackle this job more in depth. I replaced A-B-C bushings. D bushings were in great shape and I understand it's a PITA to separate in half anyway. Much nicer ride, seems to sit a bit higher too. Thanks to you and your video!
You go that far and then don't replace them all? Just because it looks good is no reason and you have all new ones and it will only take 5 extra mins to do
thank you
Your welcome :)
Radio check ..1…2. So what the symptoms before hand.. I have an 05 and I’m trying to get it squared away… had to replace spark plugs , MAF and throttle positioning sensor and battery. Was black smoking unburned fuel and missing real bad . The passenger side spark plugs was a job. Had to remove everything on firewall… to get to middle and last spark plug on-passenger side. Never again. All due to below normal cold and freezing weather. Computer had to re lien how to run … it was a scary the way it missed .. thought she was gone and I had just bought it. Throwing money at it … it wasn’t good but maybe it may help someone else with a missing issue and black smoke… from to much fuel. Battery first.. the OBD and cigg lighter fuse keeps blowing.. gotta figure that one out.
Mine started misfiring on the factory plugs at 80k.
Remove the passenger tire and plastic wheel well liner get the rear plugs. Makes it easy peasy.
Total thanks
Your welcome
Cool thanks
Saw your video was very helpful I. Replacing my body mounts had a question though what kind of rims do you have on your sporttrac they look really good
I just bought a sport trac same year as yours
Look underneath and see if it needs body bushings
Nicely done and great job. I have 3 questions. How long did it take you to do this? Did the ride change dramatically after? Front-most and rearmost bushings are intact like yours, would you recommend against installing the polyurethane bushings on them? Thanks in advance.
Took me about I guess 5 hours total. Little bit more when filming. The ride has alot less squeeks and rattles. You can change all the mounts if you desire. I changed the 4 that where bad. The front and rear mounts where still good.
How did you move you’re brake cable on the drivers side???
I have the same truck with exactly the same tires but my truck was up when i bought it, and my front tires messed up, now i put it down with the originals, and i saw your video when you put your truck 2" up on the back but hoy can i put up my truck with good lift kit ?
About time you post again lol
Yep back on the wagon..
having trouble holding fastener underneath on d and after nut removed on radiator bushing, bolt won't come out.
Yo my bushings didn't come with letters or instructions where each piece goes....same red ones u have
Thank you so much for the video, but it should be 1/2 as long. You drag it out a little bit.
Wait till you do the real thing it will take you hours...
My truck has the same issue and I bought the body bushings but had a question for you since they're polyurethane do they make that squeaking sound now when you're making turns or going over?
Hi my name is Peter I have a 2008 sport Trac I need to change all my bushings out if you can give me more details on that and send me a link for that I appreciate it thank you
Pretty nice video but I have a question do you know the right torque specifications for the body mounts bolts?
Thanks and again really nice description
Not sure. I never looked up the torque specs. Just tighten them up firm
Ford has all the body mount torque settings for open public access
Here’s the link.
images.app.goo.gl/Ua7dXNni2Jv6ZgwQA
😂😂 torque settings good greif just tighten them
you have any video on how to change rear main seal .??
Nope doesnt leak. Sorry
Did you have to heat the front and rear bolts to break them free too or just the center mounts?
Wow.. they is crazy deterioration..
Wonder what they are from the factory? My factory rubber control arm bushings lasted 21yrs.. id be shocked if they was 100% rubber.
Yeah it seems like the middle two bushings where made out of a diffrent rubber compound. That disnt stand the test of time. The front and rear bushings are in perfect shape... Very strange!!!!
It seems odd to go to all that trouble and not do a complete job. Just because the top side of a bushing "looks okay" from the outside, you can't know the condition of the inside. You can't know how much that bushing has been compressed over the years.
If you're going to work on your own truck, do it right, clean the parts, and give them a shot of paint. It's not the best idea to reinstall the New bushings on top of dirt which will be grinding against the stee on day one.
Take the front seats out and give a good run-over with the shop vac.
The middle bushings are made of a diffrent material. So not needed to change them all. Still fine to this day
I wonder if that’s what’s making my sport trac creek sometimes?
Yes mine would creak all the time. Turning side to side
Was this super challenging? I have an 02 that I need to do this on for the B and C mounts.
No just pre soak l the bolts in pb blaster and should be fine.
So if all those bushings collapsed, did you get like a quarter inch of body lift by replacing them ?
I think I got a little bit more since mine were all gone
Besides the learning curve, about how long did it take to complete?
I would say about 4 to 5 hours
I need to do this very job on my 05. Thanks for this video it was very helpful. Question, unfortunately I am not in a position to do the work myself. I will need a shop to do it how bad do you think they'll hit me for the labor?
I couldn't imagine how much it would cost. I have heard people estimate the job at over $500
I got a quote for I believe 3500 for labor.
@@Slavic_Boer no at multiple repair shops
What size socket?
Someone please invent bushings with opening to slide in place and lock with clamp
Right so you dont have to lift up the body to install.
Do you need to remove the front seats to replace the A group bushings?
No. I think only B and C.. I think A is next to the radiator support.
Where did you find the model of the sport trac?
I find them off Ebay.
Great video! Do you think there would be much different feel in the ride between the polyurethane replacements you used and the OEM "rubber" type that are stock? Thanks
I'm not sure. When I got the sport trac the bushings were all gone and dry rot. But shouldn't be that much diffrent than OEM. POLYURETHANE might last longer.
Well... my biggest fear came true! Watched your video a couple more times, psyched myself up and went at it!! Unbolted the driver seat, pulled the floor board cover back to get to both B and C pillars and got the bolt under the driver's feet out no problem! Thought to myself, "Man yeah!! Just like the video!" Screwed the bolt in from the bottom and proceeded to "knock" the hardware apart from the top. For the next hour and a half, I beat on that bolt with different extensions (got one extension wedged onto the bolt and thought I was REALLY screwed), different hammers, drowned it in PB Blaster, heated it with a torch.... and NOTHING!!!! The bottom and top portions were rusted completely into ONE homogenous unit!! I feel like the next logical step would have been to saws all the hardware in half to remove it, but with this being my only vehicle to get back and forth to work in, that job was going to be more than a "weekend job" for me I thought. And that's IF the other 7 sets didn't do the same thing! Oil well... I guess I'm just meant to have a "mini log truck" ride for the rest of the Sport Trac's days.
I ordered the same pushing kit off Amazon. My problem is the front top bushing in the kit is almost twice the height of the original. And from the looks of it, it's not because the original bushing is compressed or anything. It's rubber and still very pliable on mine.
Did you read the instructions its tells you which letter bushing goes where on the frame. Make sure you have the correct bushing in the right spot
03:07 What is that cable that runs through the bushing's angled support bracket? I'm shopping for ST and one Im looking at shows photos of the frame and noticed this cable is missing from one of the ST im currently considering purchasing. Well not anymore since things are missing!
I believe that is the e-brake cable
Mine creeks when I turn is the body mounts to blame?
Ball joints
I didnt take the A bushing off...Do you think I would still be able to jack up the truck enough to do B and C?
Not sure. Only 1 way to find out
What part of Florida are you in? I’m disabled and live near Daytona Beach in Deltona and can’t find any shop to do this work for me. I need help. Lol
I am doing the exact same thing but I can't seem to tighten everything down without the bushings just spinning... And with them in the way there is no want to use vise grips. Any suggestions?
Make sure the threads are clean on the bolts and nuts. Might have to use a tap and die set to clean up the threads.
Snug it up? The manual says 59 ft-lbs for B and C. I couldn't get anywhere near that without really mushrooming the bushing. Is that supposed to happen?
6 MONTHS LATER THE SNUG IT UP IS STILL IN PLACE..LOL
Great video but man i cant find bushings for a 2004 explorer any insights ?

If you replaced the front bushings, are those the same bushing for the control arms? Or are those separate bushings?
The body bushing are completely different than the control arm bushings.
Hey bud. One last question .. about how much of the bolt tip should we see coming out bottom once tightened?
Looks like a good 1/4 to 3/8 sticking out.
I'm sorry isn't Florida next to a salty ocean?
Salty ocean isnt going to rust your vehicle.
How the hell do you keep your truck's underside so clean? My '05 was originally a Florida Truck and after 1 NY winter it's browning out with surface rust. I'd like to clean it up.

How long would you estimate this took?
I don’t have the equipment to do this project myself, so I am trying to estimate the labor hours it would take a shop!
If I didnt have to make the video. I would guess. About 4 to 5 hrs.
Shouldnt I just change all bushings out since I am already doing B and C?!
The A and D bushings are made out of a different compound than B and C I would say only change if necessary.
How tight did you make it on the re-install? Are the bushings bulging a bit? How much thread can be seen at the bottom?
I tightened them up pretty good. Not sure if you want any bulging. Make sure you use thread locker.
@@munnday86 yea i used thread locker. When i first tightened the bolts, they were squeezed pretty tight so i loosened a bit. But maybe i should've left it tighter. I have maybe an inch at most of bolt coming out from the bottom. Do you mind checking yours when possible.
This should be the same in a 01 Explorer Sport right?
Correct
What wheels do you have on there?
Procomp 69 15inch rims with 32x11.5r15 BFG Goodrich allterrains.
What size rachet did you use?
1/2 ratchet.
Would these fit a 2002 ford explorer sport 2dr
I am not sure
a question raised your height a little
Isn’t this the same way how you do the body lift?
I believe it's the same way. I think a body lift would require a bumper adjustment
@@munnday86 yes you’re correct the kit I’m looking at comes with front and rear bumper brackets to raise them
@@JTRAMMZ nice. What wheels and tires you running?
@@munnday86 22x12 on 33s I have a video on my channel of it on what all I’ve done
@@JTRAMMZ nice looks and sounds good.
Did you end up having to take out the seats
No i didn't have to take the seats out. I took out the 4 bolts that hold down the seat. And rocked the seat forward. No need to remove them.
February 2020 how are they holding up? contemplating on purchasing but concerned about quality.
They are holding up great. They Look just as good as they day I put them on..
