Front Radius Rod Bushing – OE-Style Suspension Stabilizer

This rubber-metal mount supports the front radius/tension rod, locking wheel caster and keeping the lower arm aligned. It’s essential for straight-line stability, precise steering, and even tire wear. Built to OE geometry, it restores factory feel and reduces NVH for daily driving and spirited runs alike.

Why You Need It

Over time, road heat, salt, and impacts fatigue the bushing. Replacing it brings back confident braking, tight cornering, and quiet operation. It’s a smart fix when chasing shimmy or inner-edge tire wear.

How It Works

The inner sleeve clamps to the radius rod; the outer shell presses into the bracket. The bonded elastomer flexes in small arcs, absorbing load while maintaining caster and fore-aft control of the wheel.

When Worn or Broken ⚠️

• Clunk on braking or over bumps
• Steering wander or pull
• Brake shimmy, uneven tire wear
• Vibration and harshness at speed

Tech Notes

Press-fit install; torque fasteners at ride height. Inspect radius rod and brackets for corrosion. Align the vehicle after replacement for best results.
