I'm having a hard time finding that Supersteer idler support. I saw one on ebay but it was at $350. I had a link to one I saved from on this site but now it doesn't show up on Supersteers site. Did Supersteer stop making them for our trucks?
I did end up buying mine from eBay. Bigkham was the guy selling them.

To be fair, Mevotech parts I have are manufactured in Taiwan, but that’s actually not a bad thing. Taiwan “currently” is not China.
Taiwan (Republic of China, ROC) is ABSOLUTELY "China", but not "Communist China".

Taiwan (formerly the island of Formosa) is where the LEGITIMATE government of China fled to when Mao and the Commies were taking over the mainland.

Given the choice, I would absolutely choose parts manufactured in Taiwan(ROC)any day over mainland China(PRC). Taiwanese aren’t Communist. I would also choose products manufactured in S. Korea versus N. Korea. People in free societies produce better quality.

As far as them being China, I’d say they have a different opinion. Might take WWIII to sort that out.

some pics of the brackets on moog pitman and idler arms. The heim joints come dry. Not sure if using grease to get them moving a little better was a good idea or not. I’m going to try and find a boot solution for them. North central illinois is pretty rough with salt. You can see how the brackets are made to take any “roll” type behavior out of the center link. Same day of install I had an 80 mile interstate drive with a 50 mph cross wind. Absolute night and day difference in drivability.

That’s about what paid earlier this year. Did you buy one? Sometimes sellers list them, but when you try to purchase, you get notification it’s out of stock.

Well seeing how my 96 K1500 and your 2000 K3500 both used GM 26059031 I’d have to say yes.
Just noticed on ebay there are now none for sale.
