Radius Arm Bushings I believe, but it's almost 1am and I am at work so I could be mistaken :lol:

Marine6212,

Yes, in the diagram part number 3b203 is the radius arm bushing.
And 3b186 is the washer that is used with them.

Word of advice...this is not an easy part to replace.
I thought there was a tutorial on this, but couldn't find one here on the site.

My left side is completely gone :doh: !! Looks like I'm in for a big learning curve and some busted knuckles.

They aren't that hard to replace and I bought the new bushings from autozone.

I could probably swap them out in a couple hours now that I've done it once on my truck. My advice is to drop the whole front assembly one side at a time. That way you don't have to force the radius arm in and out and chance bending or breaking something.
