Idler Arm major play!

It appears it is missing the center sleeve that encases the mounting bolt. The sleeve should tighten in between the upper and lower bracket "ears". There should be a washer on one end of the sleeve, also.


Something is wrong there for sure! My 69 A has no washers, the inner sleeve should be hard captured between the K frame mounts! Assuming the inner sleeve is present, I would retighten that pass through bolt with some serious effort! Otherwise that Idler is Pure junk! There may be other issues your video did not capture as well!
