Just what the title says; anyone here ever rebuild one of these? The press-sealed top cap tells me that the manufacturer didn't intend for them to be servicable; but I can cut the lip off and just weld the cap back into place when all is said and done. My idler arm has over 1/4" of vertical play in the shaft... which translates into a several inches of free movement by the time you get to the tire tread. I assume there are just thrust washers or bronze bushings inside that have become worn over the past 200k miles and years off off-roading. I have a spare idler arm assembly that I am swapping in; but I might as well see what can be done with the old one. If anyone has done this and can share their experience, I'd appreciate it. If not, I'll document whatever I end up doing with mine in case it can help someone else out later. Our trucks are getting old enough that it will become increasingly more difficult to find OEM parts in the next 5-10 years. Being able to rebuild and reuse existing parts never hurts.
