Rub and idler?

Hello everyone.
I have a 85z with a beat idler arm.
I bought the arm but i cant seem to find information on the correct torque spec for it and was wondering if anyone knew?

Another question of mine is why does if feel like my car is almost hopping or dragging when the steering wheel is locked and i try to drive?
Are the 16 inch rims too big
I did notice some rub marks and ive been told third gen have horrible understeer is that true?
If it is truly understeer i cant beleive the car was sold from the factory like that,
But maybe its just the way the chassis is set up
