The idler arm helps hold the steering linkage in position as the wheels turn. This bushing sits at the arm's support end, letting it pivot while helping to limit unwanted play. If a worn bushing is causing loose or wandering steering, this part replaces it.
Signs this part may need replacing include extra play in the steering wheel, wandering at highway speeds, clunking when turning and uneven tire wear. Other steering components can cause these symptoms too, so inspect the linkage before replacing parts.
