Have I got the correct replacement idler arm?

[lookin@my68]

Well I've just started a front end rebuild on my 68 - a fairly big job for me because I haven't done it before!

Thanks to a lot of info here on the forum it's going ok, so far  - but I do have a question regarding my new Moog idler arm.

- It doesn't look like the one that was on the car! The one that was on the car has a large bend in the arm itself (see 1st pic) - my replacement Moog one is straight with a slight offset at the 'head' (2nd pic)

Is this ok? Have I got the wrong/different type arm? Can I use the same tie rod to tie rod measurments or will they be wrong with the new arm?

That will work.  I used that in my Charger with no problems.

Thanks Chris,
Did you have to adjust your tie rods to different lengths because of the change in idler arm? I guess what I'm trying to ask is does the drag link become 'biased' to one side because of the change in idler?

Nope, its basically the same rod just a different shape.  Didnt change my geometry at all

Thanks again Chris,

that makes things a LOT easier.
