Help restore proper steering function with the Dorman OE Solutions Steering Idler Arm and Bracket Assembly, part number 541-160, which supports the steering linkage so it can pivot as the wheels are turned. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1992-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 1991-2002 Ford Grand Marquis and 1987-1991 Ford Country Squire. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The idler arm supports the end of the center link opposite the pitman arm and helps keep the linkage aligned as it moves. If a worn or damaged 1992-2002 Ford Crown Victoria idler arm or bracket is the cause of loose or wandering steering, this assembly replaces the arm and bracket together.
- Direct replacement: built to fit and work like the original assembly on the listed applications.
- Correct fit: designed to install like the factory unit when the idler arm or bracket has failed from wear or impact.
- Durable construction: made from quality materials and components for dependable service.
- Expert backing: supported by Dorman's U.S.-based team of product experts and more than 100 years of automotive experience.
Signs an idler arm may need replacing include excess play in the steering, a car that wanders, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so inspect the whole steering linkage before replacing parts.
