Help with idler arm

There is basically TWO center link setups. This is determined by what you have for a pitman arm. In other words, the pitman arm, the center link, and the idler arm all must match each other. Part of the problem is compounded by changes in the steering box shaft change from small to large spline

By the way this has nothing to do with whether you have swapped K members or whether you have swapped to disk brakes. Until I tore my car down, and swapped to disk brakes, I had a 67 K. Then I swapped in a 73 / 74 K. Then I installed disk brakes, but kept the early center link. Now, with the car torn down for paint, I have finally swapped in a power steering box, a late center link, and with late pitman and idler arm. With the exception of the 67 K member, you can swap idler arms with any K from 68 - later, depending on what center link / pitman / steering box you have.

We have to revisit this subject here about once every two months
