1974 Duster Idler arm question,
Duster you need to be CAREFUL with this!!!!
Here's why............
"Legit" IE factory or "good" idler arms like Moog simply bolt in, and tighten up with bolt and nut. When the bolt it tight, the spacer in the arm automatically makes it "tight."
In the above case, "if there is play" then either the bolt / nut has come loose, or there is wear in the idler.
I HAVE a cheap off--brand arm that is DIFFERENT. The bearing setup in this arm is completely C.S. It requires proper washers to space the assembly in the brackets.........A POOR DESIGN AND NOT FACTORY EQUIVALENT
I got this "used" out of a junker, and it had not been properly installed
If there is ANY question about this, get the bolt out, pull it out of the bracket, and shoot some good photos and post them.
Either that or pony up the money and put a Spicer / Moog in it.
