I am in need of a new idler arm... Well I work at wheel Works and went over to Kragens today and helped myself to their computer.. I found some different part numbers but essentially according to the listing they were the same? Anyone have any clue on this?

MCQUAY-NORRIS <6255640> FA1743 2WD IDLER ARM LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY $68.99

MCQUAY-NORRIS <6167985> FA1711 2WD IDLER ARM LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY $79.99

BECK ARNLEY <6733364> 101-3835 2WD IDLER ARM LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY $76.99

What are the differences between the parts? Prices are retail, and I will be getting them at commercial price, so it isnt an issue of expense, I just want the best one. And to nkow what the difference is...

Can't help ya with the numbers. Have you considered rebuilding your current idler arm? I read a thread on it here and it looked fairly easy and insanely cheap. You just need a couple busings from the stealer I believe.

we ran into a problem today at work with a chevy truck..... its idler was 2 pieces.. the actual arm and the sleeve assembly..... so is that possibly what the differnt parts are for?

for what year? idler arms came on models starting with IFS...

my truck is a 4x2 [so technically, it's still ifs] so it had an idler arm

I dunno about yours but I got mine for 65 bucks after several discounts due to Fayetteville being a small place and me knowing pretty much everybody that owns Toyota's and works on em...and it was a solid piece.

Not sure what the differences could be...see if you can go look at em in person, my local place lets me go back in the back and inspect the parts I get.

Let us know if you find anything man.
