the 83-87 uses a smaller joint on one end. they made it wimpier.

Got it, do you know if the 83-87 has the smaller end on the centerlink or that other funny piece that bolts to the frame?

honestly don't remember which, but I think it was the bracket side.

Ok thanks, I just got an 84 centerlink, and I believe my bracket thing is off a 75, might just order two different idler arms and see what fits.
