Review on 💪 DORMAN HELP! 74040 Linkage Bushing Ford: A Reliable Solution for Linkage Repair by Edwin Kreps

The Dorman 74040 bushing is identical to the original factory bushings on the lever that goes between the 4x4 shifter and the transfer case on my 1997 F150. The rear hub broke and fell out, leaving the linkage dangling under the car, preventing the truck from going into four-wheel drive. I ripped off the lever and removed the remaining bushing with an X-ACTO knife, then pressed the new bushings into a vise, using the large bushing on one side for relief. I then reinstalled the linkage into the truck using a 2 foot pry bar pressed against the front driveshaft. The whole job took less than 15 minutes and now the 4WD works great. I am very happy!
