idler arm and pitman

[1974dodgecharger]

do those ever wear out?  My boots on my arms are well slit in half.....

[John_Kunkel]

Anything that moves will eventually wear out. The rubber boots are available separately.

Ill replace the idler and pitman arm since they were last replaced in 05...those joints are bad I know they have to be....I just know it....

[moparnation74]

The boots may be bad but the pitman/idler arms may not be worn.  However, if you go through the effort to replace the boots only, it just makes sense to replace the pitman/idler arm.

Are you going to get the fast ratio stuff?

I'd jack up the front end and actually check them before commiting to just replacing them.  200K on my daily, and the front is just as tight as when new.
