Help keep your front steering linkage properly supported with the Mevotech Supreme Idler Arm, part number MK6096T. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1975-1982 Chevrolet C10, 1968-1982 Chevrolet C10 Suburban and 1975-1982 Chevrolet C20, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Installed at the front of the vehicle, this steering idler arm supports one end of the steering linkage and pivots as you turn the wheel, working opposite the pitman arm. If a worn idler arm is the cause of loose steering or excess play, this unit replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
Signs this part may need replacing: steering wander, excessive play in the steering wheel, a clunk when turning, or uneven front tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, since other steering and suspension parts can produce the same symptoms.
