Mevotech Supreme Steering Idler Arm Bushing P/N:MK9871
Keep the steering linkage tight and located with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Idler Arm Bushing MS40491. This center link end bushing supports the idler arm where it meets the steering center link, helping take up play and keep the linkage positioned. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on many vehicles, among them the 1961-1965 Ford Fairlane, 1961-1964 Ford Country Squire and 1961-1963 Ford Galaxie — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application and engine details.
Signs the bushing may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, excess play in the linkage, and uneven tire wear. If a worn idler arm bushing is the cause, replacing it with the MS40491 helps restore tighter, more precise steering response. Have the steering linkage inspected to confirm the bushing is the source before you order.
