need idler arm for 70 mav.

ok while I have ordered the parts for my front end I noticed the idler arm should be replaced also..I contacted laurel mountain mustangs but have not heard from them yet..Anyone else bought new one recently and where???

 

vern,
i have a new one in the box...do you have a # so i can check and see if it is the one you need. i bought it for a mav. and don't remember the one it fits.

... ...

 

I am having a problem locating a part number myself I have a 70 mav..I can't even find where a 70 mav had an Idler arm most parts start at 74 and up???My mechanic told me to pick up an idler arm I have to go out and look under the car and see...

 

moog part# is 70-72 k8150
73-74 k8199
75-77 k8245
hope this helps

 

the one i have is a...TRW #18771
anyway to cross that #?

... ...

 

it crossed to 2 differnt part # k8150 & k8199 not much help

 

Shouldn't he (and I) replace the bushing in the end of the center link at the same time?

 

I have tried those part numbers for the moog and it does not come up..Summit racing.com
Even tried other moog sites is there a book that you are getting them from???

 

moog chassis master catalog

 

Try ordering from www.rockauto.com or any local auto parts store.

 

just got back from ..Advance Auto Parts...the guy ran the TRW # and it came up for a '73...bingo!!! thats my car. he said the # was for a '70--'74 i will be keeping this one.:sorry:

Advance can get them through...Rare Parts #20395...$$38.44 plus tax.

... ...

 

I have one that is used, but reuseable, if you don't find one...just pay $5 plus shipping...

 

thanks frank for clearing that up

 

Can get them at NAPA as well.

 

I cannot seem to find out how those look installed, and what to torque the castle nut to. I have been looking for 3 hours, and currently on hold with MOOG to find out...

All the ones I have taken apart were frozen solid and/or had a bunch of extra washers on them to bandaid fix it...
