Re: Idler arm length

After checking RockAuto, it seems the idlers after 66 use a different mounting procedure. I also checked the earlier S10s, that use the L-shaped arms, and they mount to the inside of the frame, not the outside, making them shorter on the center link. As my initial question says, do you need an equal-length idler arm as per the pittman? If they're not, and steering is not hampered, does it matter? What are people using for an idler? Just lining things up and making the existing one work?
