MOOG Radius Arm Bushing Kit for 1987-1997 Ford F-150 K8361 — OEM Fit, Durable

MOOG has a long-standing reputation for improving suspension components with design upgrades that extend service life and simplify installation. The K8361 kit is developed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, offering durable materials and precise tolerances so the radius arm mounts align correctly with your vehicle’s suspension. This product information explains what the kit includes, how it helps, and whether it fits your application.

How does the K8361 kit improve steering and ride feel?

Worn radius arm bushings allow unwanted movement in the suspension, which can translate into wandering steering and uneven tire wear. Replacing them with a properly sized MOOG kit tightens the control of the lower suspension link, improving tracking and steering response without modifying other components.

• Restores factory-aligned geometry to reduce wandering and pull.
• Minimizes bushing deflection under load for crisper steering feel.
• Helps prevent premature tire wear by stabilizing the arm location.

What vehicles and model years does this part fit?

The K8361 is specified for a broad range of Ford trucks, Broncos, Rangers, Explorers, and several Mazda models listed by year. Always confirm fitment with your vehicle’s year, make, model, engine, and trim before ordering to ensure compatibility.

• Fits many Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, Ranger, Explorer models from the mid-1980s through 1997.
• Includes fitment for Mazda Navajo and B-series trucks for overlapping years.
• Use the vehicle fit tool (or part catalog) to verify exact application and any qualifier notes.

What makes MOOG bushings easier to install and longer lasting?

MOOG designs components with attention to installability and longevity. K8361 bushings are manufactured to tight tolerances and validated by MOOG engineers so they slide into place without excessive force and maintain alignment under repeated load cycles.

• Precision molding reduces the need for trimming or modification during install.
• Materials and bonding methods resist premature wear and tear.
• Boxed kit format includes the specific parts you need to replace the factory units.

How should I verify fit and prepare for installation?

Before purchasing, check the fitment tool that corresponds to your retail platform and read any qualifier notes. Have basic hand tools and a safe jack/stands available; some applications may require removal of related suspension hardware or a press for older, seized components.

• Enter full vehicle details in the fitment checker to confirm application notes.
• Inspect the radius arm and mounting surfaces for rust or distortion before installing.
• Consider replacement of related fasteners or hardware if they show excessive wear.

Who is this for? The MOOG K8361 Radius Arm Bushing Kit is intended for do-it-yourself mechanics and professional technicians working on late-1980s to late-1990s Ford trucks, SUVs, and compatible Mazda models. It suits anyone restoring steering precision or replacing worn suspension bushings with a direct-fit, OE-style component engineered for durability and easier installation. If you need exact fit confirmation, consult your vehicle’s parts guide or the seller’s fitment tool before ordering.
