idler arm 1950 merc question...

did not find something in the search...

i have to rebuild the steering, some shops are offering only the idlerarm without the bracket. will i have to change both or only the idler arm???

or is there an other possibility to fix the clearence cause i am sitting here in germany and its hard to find the parts?

Thanks

 

the bracket itself should be good, if you're refering to the bit that secures the idler arm to the ch***is on the opposite side of the frame from the steering gear?

either way, here's a free bump back up for you...

 

yes, the space is only in the bit between framebracket and idlerarm on the right side of engine, the rest is fine .

 

if you're asking about how to modify your pitman arm and idler arm so your drag link will clear your engine? yes it can be done, but i am going to step back and let some of the suspension genius' do what they do best! there is some pretty complex geometry involved here... i shoulda paid more attention in 10th grade math cl***...


hell, i should have GONE to 10th grade math cl*** and not skip cl*** to hang out in the small engine shop!
