firm feel idler
Soft idler arm bushings are a lousy design on a spot where you don't want up/down movement at all.
A little time on a lathe and I replaced the crappy rubber bushing on this idler arm with a pair of nylon inserts.
No more up&down movements of the arm. Steering and wheel alignment is nice and tight but still smooth as can be.
