Product Details

MOOG engineers chassis components with design updates that improve service life and simplify replacement, and this idler arm follows that approach with service-friendly features and OE-style fitment. The K6100 is a direct steering linkage component for Chevrolet Corvette models from 1963 through 1982, making it a relevant choice for restoring steering feel and maintaining proper linkage geometry on classic Corvette steering systems. This part cross-references Gates 18720 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excess steering play caused by a worn idler arm
• Loose or inconsistent steering response in the linkage
• Grease service issues on aging steering components
• Noise or binding from worn steering support hardware
• Restoration work on 1963-1982 Chevrolet Corvette steering systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify mounting hole diameter and overall length against the original component before installation. Inspect adjacent steering linkage parts, fasteners, and bushings for wear so the new idler arm is not installed into a compromised system. After installation, grease the fitting during regular chassis service and confirm steering alignment and linkage movement are correct.

Quality Assurance

MOOG is known in the chassis category for ongoing design improvements that support longer service life and easier replacement. The K6100 is built as a steering idler arm for Chevrolet Corvette applications and includes service-oriented features for maintenance and installation.
