Front Radius Arm Inserts

Any tips on installing, the brake ducting is right up against the bolt.

Thanks.

remove the duct?...I believe on the drivers side you'll also have to remove or loosen the washer bottle to get the bolt in/out

Got it done, remove the front fender liner screws, quite a few, a lot more than on an LS, then remove about 6" of the brake ducting, loosen WW bottle and that does it. The OEM inserts look just as soft as the ones on my LS.

Does this mod produce a noticeable change?

Combined with the rear subframe inserts that I also put on and the steering bushing, yes it really firms up the feel, especially noticeable when on the road course.

Front end entry into a turn is a lot smoother and more precise. It allows you to feel the tires working.
