Perfect fit and great value
While I can't comment on the longevity of this product as I just installed it, I suspect it'll be fine. I can say it was a perfect fit and the price was great.

This product is very inexpensive compaired to other similar items. It seems to have some quality. But it is made in China and most importantly It DOES NOT fit a 1976 Cadillac DeVille as the description "guarantees". Sure you can take it back for a refund, but that's more wasted time and precious gas money. Plus my car is still up on jack stands until I can find the right part.

Comments about Driveworks Steering Idler Arm:
1998 S10 2wd: First time I've ever strayed from established brand-name front end parts, and the last. This idler arm had more up/down play than the old one it was replacing. It was bad enough that the truck couldn't be aligned. You'll probably buy it anyway, but remember you have been warned.
