Idler arm confusion
68 barracuda center links would work correct? My buddy has one for me...
It will if you have/ can get the matching idler/ pitman
Your are overthinking this. Regardless of the year of the car, so long as it is 67/ later, and does NOT have a 67 K member.............
there are THREE PIECES which must go together, actually 4
the center link, the idler, and the pitman must all go together. And the pitman splines must fit the box. "Generally" the studs on the idler/ pitman point one way for 72/ earlier, and the other way for 73/ later.
The center link is the Chinese key to the puzzle, as it dictates which way the studs must point.
IT IS THAT simple. Nothing else is intertwined in these 3-4 pieces. The tire rod ends don't matter, nor does the year of the car, the K, the A arms, etc.
If you look at that link I posted, it pictures the two different setups from the shop manual
