Firm up loose, wandering steering on your full-size van with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Idler Arm Bracket (MK6533). This idler arm helps support and pivot the passenger side of the steering linkage, working with the pitman arm to keep the center link located and maintain proper steering geometry. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express 1500, 2500 and 3500 and the 1996-2002 GMC Savana 1500, 2500 and 3500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
A worn steering idler arm can show up as excess play in the wheel, a wandering or loose-feeling front end, or uneven tire wear. If a failed idler arm is the cause of those signs, this unit replaces it. Have the steering and suspension inspected to confirm the cause before ordering.
