- Front position: Cataloged for the front radius arm on the listed applications.

- Kit format: Supplied as a radius arm bushing kit for servicing the arm's mounting points.
- Direct-fit application: Listed for a wide range of Ford and Mazda pickups and SUVs.
A radius arm helps locate the front axle, and the bushings at its mounting points cushion that connection so the arm can move with the suspension while absorbing road shock and vibration. Also listed as a suspension radius arm insulator, this kit is designed to take over that cushioning job when the original bushings have worn out.
Signs these bushings may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, a loose or wandering feel in the steering, uneven front tire wear, and bushings that look cracked, split or compressed. Because other suspension or steering parts can cause the same symptoms, inspect the front end to confirm the cause before replacing. If worn radius arm bushings are the problem, this kit replaces them.
See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications.
