Keep your steering linkage supported and pivoting as designed with the MOOG QuickSteer K80592 idler arm, designed for OE fit and function on the 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier and 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra. QuickSteer chassis parts are designed and tested to help restore steering and handling to their original performance. MOOG has earned its reputation as the chassis industry's Problem Solver by adding design enhancements that extend product life and simplify installation and replacement.
This steering idler arm helps support the steering linkage and pivots with it as the wheels are turned. When it wears, play can creep into the steering, and loose or worn chassis parts can lead to premature tire wear. Replacing it helps restore vehicle handling if the idler arm is the worn component.
- Engineered steel composition: results in a stronger component.
- Heavy-duty design: built as a heavy-duty replacement arm.
- Corrosion protection: coated for corrosion resistance.
- Gusher bearing and greaseable socket: a powdered metal gusher bearing design lets grease flow through the bearing, and fresh lubricant flushes out contaminants, reducing corrosion and wear.
Signs an idler arm may need replacing include excess steering play, wandering, and uneven tire wear. Inspect the steering linkage to confirm the cause before replacing parts, and have the alignment checked after installation. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment details.
