Mevotech Supreme Steering Idler Arm P/N:MK8161
Keep your front steering linkage supported and pivoting smoothly with the Mevotech Supreme Idler Arm, part number MK6251T. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 1992-2005 GMC Jimmy and 1983-2004 Chevrolet S10, and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
The idler arm holds up one end of the steering center link and pivots with it as the wheels turn. This helps keep the linkage at its correct height so your steering input carries through to the front wheels.
Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra play in the steering wheel, clunking when turning, or uneven front tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of vehicles.
