Ive got a 74 plymouth duster and the idler arm is in need of replacing. All the parts stores carry the one with a curve in it. Well mine is pretty well straight. The one that the parts stores carry hit my headers so they wont work. Has anyone else had this problem? I guess im looking to see if someone has replaced theirs allready and find out where they purchased theirs from. Heres a link to the one the parts store carrys that wont fit on mine. Any help appreciated

I had bought a moog local at autozone and it ended up being the curved one also. I guess ill just have to give summit a call and talk to them
 
are you sure it was a moog from autozone...they generally sell the Duralast brand...

and i bought one from them for my 73 duster and like you said...it did not fit...

i got the part number for the Moog from Bigblockdart.com and ordered it from summit.
 
I just looked ...I have one of the curved ones..and one of the straight ones...

the curved came from autozone...headers hit it...
 
The one from autozone was in a beat up duralast box but the bag the actual part was in had a moog products sticker on it.

Consider the possibility that your previous arm started out curved and somebody straightened it for exhaust clearance.

I dont see that. My car only had 60k miles on the clock when I got it had the original 318 with manifolds. Car was all original. Plus you would probably have to be a strong **** to bend one of thoes.
