The idler arm on my car has some play in it, would this Ebay offer a good replacement?

I'd go with a name brand like moog k6249.
I did use a mevotech mk6249 on my 91z28 seems like a nice piece for a lower price point.
I'm always Leary of cheap steering and brake parts. If something fails because it's junk well....

 

Just be careful on what you buy.. read this.

For what its Worth.....stick to name brand components.
I realize you being over the pond and all, but just be carful what you choose.

Good luck

 

Thanks a lot!

 

I just bought: NAPA 268-3635 on Ebay.

 

It looks like it was salvaged off the ocean floor.

 

I thought something along those lines QwkTrip!

 

Looks Like It Has No Grease Fitting.

 

Older design maybe?
It just needs a fresh coat of black paint I guess...
Btw, I bought the AC Delco 45C1065 arm from Rockauto as well, so I can compare before which one to use..

 

More like cheap junk, or somebody sold you their old used part. The 30 year old parts on my car look better than that.

Let me ask you a question... does NAPA sell parts on ebay?

 

Probably not, but others certainly sell NAPA boxed parts.

 

The GM Part Is The Way To Go.

 

AC Delco and Rock Auto....Don't mess with the other stuff, it is mostly junk.

 

I WAS A "Stocking Dealer" for Moog in the 1970-80's and have used their parts since. Moog is top notch!

 

wow....patina is a class all by its self...
that thing looks like it came off a **** sub..a sunken **** sub...

 

Nappa sub...

 

Napa u-boat lol

 

Been a lot of flooding the last few years. Wonder if some crumb is reselling trashed stock from a flooded store.

I still suspect it is an old used part somebody took off their car though.

It's probably too late, but you need to check "play" in the idler arm as specified in the service manual. Unless you like throwing perfectly good parts in the trash.

I've had more than a few alignment shops tell me mine was worn out when it was still good.

 

Thanks, I will check it out, next time I'm under the car!

 

Recieved the AC Delco 45C1065 arm from Rockauto today.
On the Rockauto order it says: "Made in China", on the AC Delco box it says: "Made in USA"....???
There is no "Made in the USA" stamped on the AC Delco arm though, just some numbers...6717-C WAN8.
The Delco arm angle is excact the same as the angle on the "old" new Nappa arm I bought as well, see above.

 

Just sprayed a little WD-40 on it, and it looks like new (again..)..!!
