Dorman - OE Solutions Radius Arm P/N:522-916
Help keep your pickup's front axle properly located with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Radius Arm, part number 522-389. It is a direct-fit replacement F-150 control arm for the 1989-1996 Ford F-150, cataloged for the front left and front right positions. This Dorman control arm is precision-engineered and thoroughly tested as a dependable stand-in for the original equipment.
A radius arm helps locate the front axle and controls its fore-and-aft movement as the suspension works over the road. Signs that one may need replacing include clunking over bumps, wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or an arm that is visibly bent or damaged. If a failed radius arm is the cause, this part replaces it.
Inspecting both sides is recommended, and replacing the left and right arms together helps keep the front suspension balanced. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused, and have the alignment checked after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
