Detailed Description

MOOG K6447 is a steering idler arm engineered for vehicles using the listed GM steering setup, including 1993-1999 Chevrolet C1500, 1995-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 1993-1999 GMC Yukon. MOOG’s design focus is on extending service life and simplifying replacement, while the tapered stud increases stud-to-bearing contact area by 35 percent for improved load transfer at the steering linkage. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 533-005 for the same application.

Use MOOG K6447 when replacing a worn steering idler arm on Chevrolet C2500, K2500, K3500, and GMC C2500 or K3500 platforms, as well as related Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet/GMC full-size truck and SUV applications listed in the fitment data. The part number K6447 is also commonly searched for GM steering repair on 1993-2000 Chevrolet and GMC chassis.

What It Helps Address

• Steering looseness or excessive play in the linkage
• Uneven steering response caused by worn idler arm joints
• Front-end wandering on GM trucks and SUVs
• Service issues related to dry or difficult-to-grease steering components
• Replacement needs on vehicles with independent front suspension or without bracket configurations listed in fitment

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bracket configuration and vehicle-specific fitment before installation, since some applications are listed without bracket and some 1993-2000 Chevrolet C3500 and GMC C3500 models require independent front suspension. Inspect the steering linkage, center link, and related wear points during replacement, and torque fasteners to the vehicle service specification. The included grease fitting allows routine lubrication after installation.

Quality Assurance

MOOG is known in the chassis category for ongoing design updates that improve service life and make replacement easier. The K6447 is pre-greased and built with serviceability in mind for long-term steering maintenance on compatible GM applications.
