What It Helps Address

• Steering looseness caused by a worn idler arm
• Excess play in the steering linkage
• Uneven steering response during turning
• Front-end steering geometry issues related to worn mounting points
• Noisy or unstable steering feel from a deteriorated support component

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 2.48 in. / 63 mm mounting-hole spacing before installation. Confirm vehicle year, make, model, and front steering application against the fitment list for the Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Blackwood, Lincoln Navigator, and Ford F-250. Inspect related steering linkage components during service so the replacement idler arm is installed into a sound system.
