Bad idler arm

MOPAROFFICIAL said

Bringing this thread back because....the mopar idler arms suck these days. I have changed one 3 times only for it get floppy on me and have the car dance around in the lane at every imperfection in the road....
I don't like the idea you have to spend 125 bucks for firm feels over priced bearing and sleave kit Just to have a steady tracking car.
Anyone else have a idler arm woe?

What brands have you been trying? Have you tried the Moog part?

Perhaps see if you can run down one of the old Moog rebuild kits as referred to in the post above yours. They were good. Or spend the $125 and be done with it.

Yeah, the rubber from India and China tends to be crap and of the wrong durometer (hardness). I gave up trying to find good replacement strut tops for my Starion/Conquest cars because the rubber supports were all wrong, and adapted in Subaru strut tops.....
