Idler arm repair kit ?
« on: December 02, 2011 - 08:03:14 AM »
Anyone have any info/part number etc for an idler arm bushing.

70 Challenger R/T
383
Power Steering

the bushing in mine is trashed (re: barely there) but I don't need an entire new arm, just the rubber. I've spent the last couple hours on Google and haven't come up with anything definitive.

There is this listed by Moog:


It says it's not compatible with 70 Challengers - only 71-74 - however it lists it compatible with 70-74 Barracuda's. Other sites list it as compatible with 70 Idler arms, and others don't.

Anybody know what's up? What I should be looking for.

Was told about it during a recent rego check, but haven't had a look under it myself, so I have no idea what's what at the moment.

Has anybody got actual part images of one off the car so I know exactly what I'm looking for?



Cheers!    :drunk:

NAPA online lists repair kit, they even list replacement idler arms and pitman arms which they have not in the past.

The repair kit was listed on Rock-auto, but when I added it to the cart it disappeared and said no longer available - then it was automatically removed from the site.

Saw that. Unfortunately NAPA won't ship outside the US.
