Working on replacing the radius arm bushings on my 95 F250 RWD. The drivers side actually dropped one of the rubber bushings out so it would clunk and clatter pretty good. I have to heat the nut to get it apart (torch is at the farm, truck is in my garage at home.... plus we're out of Acetylene....)
Doing the ball joints while I'm there, along with the shocks on the front. Ball joints are still good, but non greasable. Tie rod ends feel good yet. Brake pads and rotors can't have more than a few thousand miles on them. Virtually no wear on new rotors and pads
Ordering the hoses to the calipers from Rockauto (even with shipping, it's considerably cheaper, with more options) and a few other things I didn't the first time around.
Anything else I should check out since I'm in there already? Not much left to look at on the front. Gotta do some work on the rear brakes, the previous owner (wifes nephew) left parking brake on and got on the highway. Will probably pull the rear tires off and do an inspection on Sunday (next chance to work on it) so I can put it all on the same order.
Will have the alignment checked when it's all back together.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
