Beck/Arnley Steering Idler Arm P/N:101-4360
Keep your steering linkage tight and precise with the Beck/Arnley Steering Idler Arm 101-4451, a direct-fit replacement Kia Sportage idler arm for the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage. As part of the front steering linkage, the idler arm works opposite the pitman arm to support the center link and help hold the tie rods in proper alignment.
A worn idler arm may show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, or play in the steering wheel. If a failed idler arm is the cause of those signs, this replaces it — diagnose the linkage first, since other steering or suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
