Is the steering not acting right with the current setup?
I don’t know for certain if an idler arm from a squarebody has the same taper as the 64 on the center link, but if it does, you could use that one. You would have to drill new holes in the frame.
Or, just use the stock idler arm if it’s in good shape and drill some new holes where it seems to steer the best.
Also, make sure your center link is attached in the correct orientation. If installed wrong, a new idler arm won’t fix your problem.
