Installing new idler arm???
I recently installed a new idler arm on my 87 4runner because the old one was about to fall apart. After putting it on and tightening the grommet nut as much as I could the arm still did not go all the way up the shaft to touch the grommet.? Should it? Does it need to be pressed on further with a press? Soon I will be putting on new tie rods and steering arm. Any helpful tips ???? They would be much appreciated, Thanks.

I am learning correct terminology. I would suppose the castle nut would be the one that has the cuts and pin after. I tightened that nut as much as I could. I will post a photo as soon as I can.

Stupid question maybe, but does your new idler arm look exactly like your old one? I found out the hard way that several of the chain auto parts stores have the wrong part number in their inventory lookup.
