Parts for suspension/steering and other stuf hve arrived! So lots of things to do. Past week working on the rear side of the car. Changing shocks, brakes, diff fluid etc.
Now I am currently working on the steering assembly. There was considerable play in the steering drive. Changing all tie-rods, but most play came of the idler arm.
Compared to the new idler arm, the bushing distance is 3 millimeters smaller (shown in the picture is now 60 mm). Now the new idler arm is tight in the K-frame. I have tightened it. Only I doubt if the clamping is not too much. The idler arm moves freely, but it requires some power to move it. My question is whether this is correct? Not that it may cause problems with steering.
Thanks in advance!
