Beck/Arnley Steering Idler Arm Bushing P/N:101-4356
Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Beck/Arnley Steering Idler Arm Bushing 101-3815. The idler arm bushing seats the idler arm pivot in the steering linkage, letting the arm swing while holding the linkage in alignment — a worn bushing lets the arm rock, which can show up as loose or wandering steering, extra play in the wheel, and uneven tire wear. It's an application-specific direct replacement for the 1979-1982 Mazda 626, 1972-1977 Mazda 808, 1977-1983 Mazda GLC, and 1979-1985 Mazda RX-7; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
If a worn idler arm bushing is the cause of your steering play, this replaces it. Inspect the mating steering components during service and torque to the vehicle's specification.
