Description

Keep your steering linkage tight and your front wheels tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Idler Arm MK8158, a direct-fit front replacement for the 1967-1970 Ford Mustang and 1967-1970 Mercury Cougar. Mounted on the front steering linkage opposite the pitman arm, this idler arm pivots to support and locate the center link, helping the tie rods maintain proper steering geometry.

Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust buildup for longer service life.
Precise engineering: designed inside and out for durability and straightforward installation.
Premium materials: quality materials used throughout the components for longer part life.
Rigorously tested: extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.

A worn idler arm develops play in its pivot, which can show up as loose or wandering steering, a clunk from the front steering linkage, and uneven front-tire wear. If a worn idler arm is the cause, this idler arm replaces it with a new center-link pivot. Have a wheel alignment performed after installation.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a steering idler arm do?

It mounts on the front steering linkage opposite the pitman arm and pivots to support and locate the center link, helping the tie rods hold proper steering geometry.

Will this idler arm fit a 1967-1970 Ford Mustang?

Yes. MK8158 is a direct-fit front idler arm for the 1967-1970 Ford Mustang and 1967-1970 Mercury Cougar. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact vehicle.

Is this the same as a pitman arm?

No. The pitman arm attaches to the steering gearbox, while MK8158 is the idler arm that mounts on the opposite side to support the center link. They are separate parts.

What are the signs of a worn idler arm?

Loose or wandering steering, a clunk from the front steering linkage, and uneven front-tire wear can indicate a worn idler-arm pivot. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Do I need an alignment after installing this idler arm?

Yes, a wheel alignment is recommended after replacing steering-linkage components to help the front wheels track correctly and keep tire wear even.
