Shackle bushings - Ford Forums

When trying to order shackle bushings energy suspension asks if your vehicle has the "molded in frame" or "common frame" type bushings. How do I determine this? I have a 1995 351 MFI.
Thanks

Best to take a look at the bushings you have now:

Here is the firm's site page on what to look for to dtermine what part # you need:

Ford did swap parts around on Broncos in later years within model years depending upon part availability/price/change in sources
