Description
Fits 1967-1970 Ford Mustang/Mercury Cougar – 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder with manual steering.
Improve the steering of your classic with an Opentracker Trans-Am Roller Idler Arm and frame bracket. The stock rubber idler arm bushing allows the center link to move up and down under braking and on rough road conditions. Replacing the factory rubber bushing with (grease-able) roller bearings stops the center link from moving up and down. The roller idler maintains proper position of the center link as it moves from side to side. Smoother and more precise steering is what you get with a roller idler arm. This idler arm is pre-greased and ready to install.
Manual steering cars will especially appreciate this upgrade as the reduced steering effort is a bonus. Opentracker Trans-Am Roller Idler Arms are made using as high quality, US made components as possible. We have replacement bearings available.
Our Trans-Am style roller idler arm was developed for the vintage racer wanting a roller bearing idler arm like the Trans-Am cars used back in the day. These idlers have a roller bearing kit at each end for smooth operation. You can see one in operation at the 4:20 point in this video.
