Is your shaft bigger than mine? I need a measurement

Not that shaft! :nono: The shaft, or stud, whatever you call it, on the idler arm that goes up inside the center link on the passenger side seems to be too loose inside the hole. I can put it all the way up inside with no resistance. If one of you is in the middle of putting your suspension together and your idler arm is not installed I'd like to get the diameter of that shaft at its widest point and compare it to mine. I wonder if I got an A-body idler (assuming they are smaller). :shruggy: Thanks.

Bull, this whole sentence just sounds rather naughty for some reason.  :blush2:  :D

Yes, I know. And I wasn't even trying. :shruggy:
This part sounds pretty bad too:

Anyway, thanks for the help. :2thumbs:
