Mevotech Supreme Steering Center Link P/N:MS40900
Reconnect your front steering linkage with the Mevotech Supreme Center Link MDS1049, a direct-fit Camaro and Firebird center link replacement for the 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro and the 1982-1992 Pontiac Firebird. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
This front steering center link spans the steering linkage between the pitman arm and the idler arm, and it provides the attachment points for the tie rods. Its job is to carry steering-wheel input across the linkage to the front wheels.
Signs this part may need replacing: excess play at the steering wheel, wandering at highway speed, a clunk when turning, or uneven front tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so inspect the linkage before replacing anything. If the center link is the worn component, MDS1049 replaces it. A front wheel alignment is recommended after steering linkage work.

What does a center link do?
It links the pitman arm and the idler arm and provides the tie rod attachment points. It carries steering input across the front steering linkage to the wheels.
Is a grease fitting included?
Yes. An SAE grease fitting is included so the center link can be lubricated as part of routine chassis maintenance.
What are signs of a worn center link?
Common signs include loose or wandering steering, excess play at the wheel, clunking when turning and uneven tire wear. Other steering parts cause similar symptoms, so inspect before replacing.
Should I get an alignment after installing it?
Yes. A front wheel alignment is recommended after replacing a center link, because steering linkage work can change the toe settings.
