Title: Steering Idler
Post by: Cav9_4 on 18 July 2007, 19:48:48

My Dad took his car to a local garage to have his tracking checked to be told they couldn't do it as there was play in the lower arm ball joint,anyway got a replacement arm only to find the play was in the idler not the ball joint,tried local (SAF) factors but don't do them,anyone know how much they are from dealers?....looked on ebay couldn't find any either...Many thanks...Wayne
