I have an 89 firebird with the 3.4 v6 swap. I need a new idler arm and center link. How hard are these to replace and put new ones in and should I go with a oem replacement or something higher quiality like Moog that is twice as much?

Very easy to replace ,but the center link must be 100% level with the ground once the idler arm is installed. Use only MOOG parts.
