KYB Suspension Control Arm Bushing P/N:SM5742

Silence front-end squeaks and keep the strut firmly tied to the lower control arm with the KYB Suspension Control Arm Bushing SM5742 — a direct-fit control arm bushing for the 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota and 2011 Ram Dakota, built to replace a worn factory strut-to-arm bushing. It installs at the front lower control arm at the strut fork, where it locates the strut against the arm and cushions the road impacts that a hardened, aged rubber bushing can no longer absorb. Fitment covers the 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota and the 2011 Ram Dakota; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the engine-level details on your vehicle.

As the original rubber cracks and stiffens with age, you may notice added noise, vibration, and harshness through the front suspension, a clunk over bumps, or looser-feeling handling. Diagnose the source first; if a failed strut-to-arm bushing is the cause, this KYB replacement is designed to provide a compliant, quiet connection between the strut and the arm.

• Strut-to-arm location: mounts at the front lower control arm at the strut fork.
• Superior rubber: reduces noise, vibration, and harshness.
• OE-quality replacement: designed for each specific application.
