Re: Steering Linkage Interference
In the second picture in post#2 you will see the spacer between the 2 washers that support the rubber bushings on the sway bar. I removed these spacer tubes and tightened up the nut more on the inner tie rod end on the DS. These two adjustments allowed enough clearance between the sway bar and the tie rod adjustment sleeve, and between the inner tie rod end and the cross member. The center link is still very close to the cross member, but there is no interference. I bought a new idler arm, which measures the same as the original, which are both 5-3/4" center to center, which is 1/2" longer than the K6131 pitman arm. Everywhere I look the 67-72 idler arms are not a 2 bolt frame mount design, they have tapered/threaded shaft mounts on both ends, if I have the wrong idler arm, I don't know what the correct one is...
