2nd gen idler arm rebuild sucess
I have been experiencing quite a bit of vibration in the front end while picking up speed. A co-worker pointed out that I had some play in my idler arm, so I followed the directions on this post--
Idler Arm Maintenance
It cost a whole $13.00 and took a little over an hour to do. Tonight on my way home from work I had no vibration at all, and the steering felt much tighter.
I highly recommend this for any 2nd gen--especially if you wheel it and have over 100k.

not worn through, but worn. When I moved my pass tire back and forth there was quite a bit of movement--now there is none. Make sure you torque everything down just right.

If you do install a steering stabilizer, PM or email me before you do it so I can give you a few tips. Oh ya, also go with OME!
