    Pros:
    • Perfect Fit
    • High Quality
    Cons:
    These are hard to find, and this is a perfect reproduction. I know there are a lot of questions about getting the right Idler arm. This part is listed as fitting both Power & Manual Steering systems which I thought might be a problem. It fit perfectly on my 73 Mustang with Power Steering. I've included three pictures if it helps others. One picture is of my old idler arm with this new one side by side for comparison. I know my old was replaced sometime in mid-80s so it was probably not OEM. The next two show the actual center line dimensions of the old and new Idler arms which is the critical dimension. They both are 5 inches. Hope this helps.

    I bought my 69 Cougar in Jul of '09 as a retirement from the Army gift to myself. From day 1 it had intermittent heating problems that I tried to fix. I changed the radiator, thermostat, water pump, and added 2 12 in 1400 cfm electric cooling...

    WCCC hooked me up with an original glove box cable and the correct screws WITH shoulders for my glove box. Their listing for these screws explains that the original screws have a shoulder for the cable and most people put in the wrong screws--which...

    I have been a cougar owner for just shy of 30 years, I have been dealing with part problems for a very long time. The people at WCCC have always be honest, and overly helpfull. I now have a 1970 XR-7 mostly rebuilt, and my son has a 1968 base...
