Re: replacing idler arm
mark around the old arm with a pencil before you remove it, then put it back in the same spot and you are good.
the bolts that hold the arm on can be accessed through the passenger wheel well, the front of the liner needs to be pulled back, or remove the whole thing and then you will see the holes in the frame where you can get the wrench in.
