KYB Suspension Control Arm Bushing P/N:SM5208
Quiet a clunking, wandering front end with the KYB Control Arm Bushing SM5743 — a direct-fit Ram 1500 control arm bushing that mounts on the front lower control arm at the strut fork. This suspension control arm bushing cushions the strut-to-arm connection, letting the lower arm pivot on a controlled path while isolating road impacts, noise, and vibration from the rest of the vehicle.
Over time the rubber can crack, split, or harden, allowing extra movement at the strut-to-arm joint. If a worn bushing is the cause, signs may include clunking or knocking over bumps and during turns, along with vague or imprecise steering; diagnose the cause before replacing. Fits the 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 2011-2016 RAM 1500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your engine.

What does the KYB SM5743 control arm bushing do?

Is this the right Dodge Ram 1500 control arm bushing for my truck?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 2011-2016 RAM 1500. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact fit and engine for your truck.
Where is this bushing located on the vehicle?
At the front lower control arm, at the point where it connects to the strut fork.
What are the signs this bushing may need replacing?
Cracked, split, or hardened rubber, clunking or knocking from the front over bumps and during turns, and vague steering can be signs. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both sides at the same time?
Bushings on both sides typically wear at a similar rate, so if one is worn it's good practice to inspect and, if needed, replace the matching bushing on the other side for balanced handling.
