Mevotech Supreme Steering Idler Arm Bushing P/N:MK9871
Keep the steering linkage tight and quiet with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Idler Arm Bushing (MS40490). This bracket-end idler arm bushing installs as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of classic Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles — including the 1964-1973 Ford Mustang, 1963-1970 Ford Falcon, 1965-1979 Ford LTD, 1967-1979 Ford Thunderbird, 1968-1976 Ford Torino and 1967-1979 Mercury Cougar. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full application and engine list.
The idler arm bushing cushions the idler arm at the bracket end, helping locate the steering linkage and dampen play. A worn bushing can show up as sloppy or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a knocking feel through the wheel when a failed idler arm bushing is the cause.
