idler arm?

[garrettk]

Has anyone had to replace their idler arm? I just got new tires and had an alignment but the car doesnt seem tight. For example, cruising in the left lane on the highway i have to tilt the wheel to the right because of slope of the road...is this normal? It feels like the left turning is easier and more responsive than turning right. Anyone had this problem?

idler arm, new one by me.

Tilting road, generally yes you need to steer to compensate it.

How are your tie rods? one could have loose bearings.

My idler arm bush is not great , I have the new one to fit but to be honest i have not yet figured out what I doing with it!!

The last idler I bought came as a kit , complete with both bushings new bolt washer and nut.

Just drive out the old bushings with a socket or pipe and pull the new bushes in with the bolt with care.

Probably should have done this work before the aglinement job, eh.

well if you get it done after the allignment job all you need to do is to besure both rods are of equal length to the ones you pulled and you are set.
