Idler Arm change
My 'runner has been pulling to the right, even after two alignments, so I took it to a different shop, and they said my Idler arm is worn out. (Love that $99 lifetime alignment)
I found one at Autozone for $72, ($180 quote from the shop) and plan on changing it Monday after work. I'll rent their tie-rod tool for $15, because I think I'll need that to seperate it from the linkage, anything else?
I've changed ball joints, tie rods, and rack&pinions before, so it shouldn't be that hard.
Thanks in advance

Should've researched more before ordering.
Has onyone on the board rebuilt their idler arm? If so, should I order the parts and fix it myself, or replace the whole thing?
I'm at 128K miles, BTW.
