Lateral axle control on many 1932–1979 Ford cars and trucks relies on properly fitted track bar bushings and related shock mounting bushings. This category includes ford reproduction Front And Rear Track Bar Bushing components as well as classic ford Front Tube Shock Rubber Bushing applications used to stabilize axle position and isolate vibration within the suspension system.
A track bar (also called a panhard bar) limits side-to-side axle movement during cornering and suspension travel, helping maintain axle centering and steering stability. Bushings at each mounting point absorb movement while keeping the bar securely located against the frame and axle brackets. Fitment may vary by model year, axle design, suspension configuration, and mounting bracket style. Differences in inner sleeve diameter, outer bushing dimensions, and mounting width are common. Worn bushings can contribute to lateral axle shift, steering correction under load, and uneven tire wear. Replacing fatigued components restores proper axle alignment and predictable handling characteristics consistent with factory design.
As a family-owned business serving classic Ford restorers since 1978, C&G Ford Parts brings decades of hands-on product knowledge to every category. We understand how these systems fit and function beyond what’s written on paper.
