This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Steering looseness caused by worn idler arm bushings
- Clunking or movement in the steering linkage
- Rubber cracking, hardening, or deformation at the idler arm
- Uneven steering feel from excessive linkage play
- Need for a direct replacement steering idler arm bushing
Installation Notes and Tips
MS40491 installs with a press-in method, so the idler arm and surrounding bore should be inspected for wear before installation. Clean the mounting surfaces thoroughly and verify the bushing dimensions against the original part before pressing it into place. Because steering components affect vehicle control, final inspection of linkage condition and alignment is recommended after service.
Quality Assurance
Mevotech manufactures steering and suspension service parts for repair applications that require accurate fit and durable materials. MS40491 follows OE-style dimensions and material selection for steering idler arm bushing replacement.
