Do they not mean the'pin' at the rear of the radius arm that poles through the chassis? That pin may be worn and is part of the arm itself

It says radius arm front bushes.Kermie. if you're doing the job yourself Al then get the four nuts and bolts as well, they usually need cutting off as the inner sleeve rusts to the bolt preventing it from being knocked out.;)
