Can anyone give me some tips or hints for replacing an idler arm on my '87 Brougham? I've never done one before, but I'm pretty good mechanically and I have air tools, etc. Any help appreciated.

Piece O' cake!

Two 18mm bolts on the frame and the castle nut at the center link. However, a worn center link is often times the real cause for a diagnosed worn idler arm.

If you need an idler, let me know. I have a new TRW one in the trunk of my Coupe DeVille that I never installed after having swapped the center link instead. The idler is your's for shipping, let me know...

OH... I love beer too:cloud9:

I cant help on the installation, but I had to replace my center link and Idler arm, I have always heard they should be replaced together, it was throwing my alignment off...

Mine was chewing-up the outer edges of the tires. My inspection mechanic said it was the idler arm, but after I took a look it was a sloppy center link. The bad thing was the idler was $12, the other was over $100.

The problem was fixed however.
