bent idler arm
what kind of ill effects does a bent idler cause?
|
how did you bend it Dave?
It could have an affect on the alignment and probably would result in premature tire wear. |

I'd say get a new one and put a Downey brace on it. It's not a question really of if the idler will bend but when. Frank |

Cool. I gonna have to replace the idler arm first. Will a aftermarket arm work with the Gusset? Or does it have to be original Toyota? Because the original arm is long gone.
For those that are interested this is what thw gusset looks like http://www.downeyoff-road.com/images_parts/MS-4.jpg Frank's alot :) |
