Hey everyone... been awhile since I've posted... thats what being in school and having no money does <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />...

I hit a deer on the way to Pullman from the Seattle area last week, and it prompted me to get the truck checked out just in case at the Toyota dealer around here because they are pretty nice, and I have no tools or anything here. They said:

I have a loose idler arm,
steering pump makes noise but works fine
seeping steering box
need front brake pads

... the one I am the most worried about (the one i dont know about) is the idler arm. Anyone know how to tighten a loose idler arm? The mechanic wasnt around to explain, but I am sure i could catch him if I went back. Thanks for any advice... I want to tell my dad which tools to bring when he comes to visit.

ps... if you know anything about those other issues, that knowledge would also be appreciated.
