Mevotech Supreme Steering Idler Arm P/N:MK6365T
Support the front steering linkage as it pivots with every turn of the wheel with the Mevotech Supreme Idler Arm MK6186, a greaseable replacement designed around patented sintered bearings for longer-lasting performance. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1973-1981 Chevrolet Camaro, 1975-1979 Chevrolet Nova and 1972-1981 Pontiac Firebird. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
This steering idler arm supports the end of the steering linkage opposite the pitman arm and pivots as the front wheels are steered, helping hold the linkage in position. If a worn idler arm is behind loose or wandering steering, MK6186 is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
An idler arm may need replacing if you notice excess play in the steering wheel, wandering at highway speed, a clunk when turning, or uneven front tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause these signs too, so inspect the linkage to confirm the cause. An alignment check after installation is recommended.
