Description

Keep your classic's front steering linkage supported and in line with the Mevotech Supreme idler arm, part number MK8161, a direct-fit replacement for the 1967-1970 Ford Mustang and 1967-1970 Mercury Cougar. The idler arm mounts to the frame opposite the pitman arm and supports the end of the center link, helping hold the front linkage in position as the wheels are steered.

Resists corrosion: A protective surface treatment helps prevent rust buildup and is intended to extend part life.
Precise engineering: Designed inside and out for durability and straightforward installation.
Premium materials: Premium materials are used on every component with longer part life in mind.
Rigorously tested: Put through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing to check performance and strength.

Signs the idler arm may need replacing include excess play in the steering wheel, loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, and uneven front tire wear. Because other linkage parts can cause the same symptoms, inspect the full steering linkage to confirm the cause. If a worn original idler arm is the source, the MK8161 replaces it. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete fitment details.
