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

re: what are these called?
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.
