Description

Help take the play out of your front steering linkage with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Idler Arm MK8189. This front steering component fits many Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, among them the 1969-1978 Ford LTD, 1969-1975 Ford Custom 500 and 1969-1974 Ford Country Squire, and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. Mounted to the frame opposite the pitman arm, the idler arm supports the steering center link and works with the pitman arm to keep the linkage level and transfer steering motion to the wheels.

Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust buildup and increase longevity.
Precise engineering: engineered inside and out for high durability and easy installation.
Premium materials: premium materials are used on all components for longer part life.
Rigorous testing: extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.

As the pivot wears, an idler arm develops play that can show up as loose or wandering steering, excess play at the wheel, and uneven front tire wear. If a worn idler arm is the cause, this unit replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as these signs can have other sources.
