A radius arm is a type of suspension control arm. It helps hold the front suspension in position and keep it aligned as the wheels travel over the road. If the original arm is bent, cracked or worn, this Dorman part replaces it.
A radius arm may need replacing if you notice clunking or knocking over bumps, steering that wanders or feels loose, uneven tire wear, or an alignment that won't hold. These symptoms can have other causes, so inspect the front suspension before ordering. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether the originals may be reused, and have the alignment checked after installation.
