Beck/Arnley Steering Idler Arm P/N:101-4451

$57.99

Description

Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Beck/Arnley Steering Idler Arm (MPN 101-4451), a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications. The idler arm supports the front steering linkage on the opposite side of the pitman arm, helping hold the center link in position so the steering geometry stays true and the front wheels track correctly.

Matches OE form, fit and function: engineered as a direct replacement for the listed application.
Coated or plated for corrosion protection: the finish helps resist rust.
Heavy gauge steel construction: built with a quality construction for durability.
Application specific: designed for this vehicle so it installs without modification.

Signs your idler arm may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, excessive play in the wheel, uneven or feathered front tire wear, and a clunk over bumps as the linkage loosens. If a worn idler arm is the cause of these symptoms, this replaces it. Have the steering linkage inspected to confirm the failed component before ordering, and an alignment is recommended after installation.
