Just wondering if anyone has had any luck replacing the bushings on their idler arm. There is a fair amount of play in mine and I'm wondering if the shaft usually gets trashed. $10 for a couple of bushings vs $80 or so for a new idler arm.
Thanks

All of the time. Well, not all of the time... but you get the idea.

I second the usefulness of the linked thread! Just rebuilt mine over the weekend and I'm back to normal. Saved myself some change and it was a snap to do! :thumbsup:
