Prices & Question

wyde1340 · 05-12-2008, 05:14 PM

I'm having a "noise" (not the clunk) coming from my front end. We believe we have isolated it as the piece circled in "red" below, as it is very loose, sloppy and makes a noise...the problem with this piece (idler arm) is that it has a tack weld on it...so I wasn't sure if you have to buy the "whole thing" or if I could just buy the idler arm & grind the tack weld off of it and have someone tack the new one on?

Anyway, I need a price on just the idler arm and any accompanying pieces for the right side (passenger side) for a 2003 HD.

Thanks,
Amy

All right, I just called him, the part is indeed called idler arm, and we need to measure the distance between the holes of it's bracket because there are two different sizes:

the bracket from hole to hole have the following sizes:

-87mm
-63mm

Once we know the measurement, we're good to go

wyde1340 · 07-02-2008, 12:22 PM

^^^ Oh, oh...and I"m the one that forgets information - hmmm? What holes? LMAO!

All right, the bracket has two holes that attach it to the frame, the holes are the same size, but they are either 63 or 87mm apart from each other, those are the measurements that have to be taken when ordering this part, all other dimentions of the bracket and arm are the same

Hahahha....I had a feeling I knew what you were talking about...but that was a loaded sentence you posted up there...LMAO!!!
