I have been trying to buy a driver side radius arm for my 2005 E150. I was able to get a passenger side arm, but the driver side seems to not exist anywhere. SKP and Dorman do not make the right ones.

What is available is an arm that is for E250 and E350. The pictures look a little different , but it's hard to tell. The part numbers are the same except there is a "B" instead of "A" in them.

Does anyone know what the difference is, and whether the E250 arm can be made to fit and E150? I've looked everywhere except getting an old one from a junk yard.. They don't age well, and I'd rather get new. My old one is really too far gone (and broken) to think about fixing it.

Thanks,
Art

 

Hey Art I’m having the same issue. Did you ever figure it out? Thank you

 

If you never changed one before, you have a good sized job ahead of you.
Also, take a good look at the hole in the hanger. Sometimes they get elongated and might require replacement.
Hangers were riveted on and maybe a spring shop would be a serious consideration.

 

Hank do you know if they are interchangeable? as they don’t make 2005e150 radius arms anymore.
e250 and e350 are readily available. Could I use those?
