There was a question about the Ingalls Adjustable Bushing fitting E450. I Does because it Must. Since 2008, E-series Axles, Ball Joints and Upper Ball Joint Bushings are the same across the product line. The different series use different Hubs (for Dual Wheel vs. Single and the lug bolt arrangement) and Springs but the rest is the same. If somebody has an older E150 the parts might be different.
I've toyed with getting a set of adjustable bushings, and doing a Cut and Try Alignment. Get it so I like it then buy fixed bushings to go permanent with. Two shops I called said if they find adjustable bushings they remove them. They've seen them come apart/come out. Go deep enough and the companies that sell the bushings do not want them used in RV conversions, box trucks, etc. Since there is not an E450 "van" (only some form of cutaway) that probably explains why they don't list them. Even though they do in fact fit.
