Trailmaster Radius Arm
Radius arm is known by other names such as radius rod and torque arm. It is a suspension component designed to control the motion of the wheel along the longitudinal plane. The link is typically connected to the wheel carrier or axle using a rubber or solid bushing. The other end of the link is connected to the chassis of the vehicle. This arrangement prevents too much swaying of the axle along the longitudinal plane of the vehicle. This is especially practical when the vehicle is braking or accelerating because it allows maximum tire traction. Radius arms are commonly mounted ahead of the wheel, which resist drive under braking forces and prevents wheel hop when accelerating. You may need to install a Trailmaster radius arm to replace the damaged radius arm of your vehicle. As an aftermarket automotive suspension product, you can trust the reliability and quality of the Trailmaster radius arm. It is engineered to function as efficiently as the original radius arm of your vehicle. It is constructed out of stamped steel to allow lighter but tough structure. Since radius arms are part of the un-sprung weight of the vehicle, it is very important to construct them with minimal weight. Moreover, this product comes with polyurethane bushings and mounting hardware. Polyurethane material allows more flexibility compared with solid bushings. Even if your vehicle does not have radius arms, some suspension components can function in similar way under certain conditions. For instance, shock absorbers connected to the rear beam axle and frame can significantly control longitudinal wheel movement.
