Idler arm too big ????

[MR.7DUSTER3]

We are putting the steering back on the Duster and when I put the idler arm on I noticed that it was alot beefier than the one we took off. I thought hey thats ok bigger is better right ? Wrong !!!This thing hits my header on the right side. I double checked the part # K7086 which is the right # but I got this from Oreillys and they sold me their brand which is Master Pro . Has any one ever got one of these before and if so what did you do?
Is the Moog one any different ?

Had the same problem on my 70 Duster, finally found one that fit, can't remember where.
Same problem on a 69 Charger. We bent up the ears on the k member, and got clearance again.

Well I had oreillys get me a Moog idler arm and there was a big enough diffirance that i bought it and took it home and put it on. It still rubs a little but I think I can shim up the rear tranny mount about 1/4 inch and get away with it.
