Bent radius arm
I was/am replacing the front clip on my truck as well as various bushings. I decided I would coat a few things with Chassis saver while I was at it. Today I noticed one of my radius arms is bent.
Will one from a 77 F150 work? I have a 78. Are they side specific?

Bent ?
Are you sure it's bent is the one you are concerned with the one on the driver side it is probably offset due to the differental on that side does the truck drive ok if it was bent that bad it should have a noticable dog track you would think look at the angle of the doner truck before you pull it sure would suck to fight it off and have the same part just a thought

"Bent it? You damn near broke it....." Ok, couldn't resist an old punch line. Any aftermarket sources for a good new radius arm?

i took the one off the donor and it is not bent. wasn't too bad getting off.
i have experienced the death wobble. most of the front suspension parts have been replaced. ball joints were just done. tie rods before that. maybe this was the culprit?
i am replacing the bushings that is why it was off.
