The idler arm assembly is pretty loose. I read the bushing replacment write up in maintenance, but it doesn't address the ball joint that connects to the steering link. I appears that most of the "play" is in this ball joint not in just in the idler itself. Is this ball joint replaceable without buying the whole idler assembly? Or do I have to buy the whole thing? TIA Carl Re: idler arm question [Re: vtown] #531996 11/30/04 07:18 PM Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 268 Htown, TX 1 1FastSS Mudrunner Whole thing. It part of the arm. I had to replace mine about 8 months ago. Check the one on the pitman arm also....mine was worn also..... - Daily Driver - 2004 Corolla - Off Road - 1992 Pickup SR5 3.0L 4x4 - Fun - 2001 Camaro SS (320 RWHP/330 RWTQ) http://community.webshots.com/user/1fastss Re: idler arm question [Re: 1FastSS] #531997 11/30/04 10:51 PM Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 39 Windsor, CT V vtown OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Ok thanks.
