Fitment Details

Compatible With front suspension applications on 1967-1972 Ford F-350 and 1969-1972 Ford E-100 Econoline. This Mevotech GK8181 radius arm bushing kit is a direct-fit service part for these front axle applications, and the included washers and spacer rings match the listed fitment notes.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Why It Matters

Worn radius arm bushings can create looseness at the front suspension and reduce the precision of the chassis. Replacing them with the GK8181 helps renew the mounting interface between the radius arm and frame on Ford F-350 and Ford E-100 Econoline models.

  • Front-end looseness or wandering
  • Clunking or movement at the radius arm mount
  • Degraded steering response from worn rubber bushings
  • Suspension noise caused by deteriorated mounting components
  • Service needs on classic Ford truck and van front suspension systems

Installation Notes

Install on the front radius arm mounting points only. Verify bushing dimensions, spacer ring placement, and washer orientation before assembly. Clean the mounting surfaces and inspect the radius arm and brackets for wear or distortion before installing the new bushings.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech supplies suspension service parts for OE-style repair applications, and the GK8181 is built with natural rubber construction and application-specific dimensions for the listed Ford vehicles.
