« Last post by pmb0186 on April 05, 2024, 05:50:02 pm »Thanks for everyone’s reply, why an ask is I have installed electric power steering and return to centre with 8deg of caster is almost perfect but I think it could be better with a solid powering bush. Currently a manual bush.
Something others could consider

Tech Torque Pre 1973 / Re: Idler arm
« Last post by RocketScientist on April 04, 2024, 05:43:08 pm »I sourced the bush from one of the Aussie Mustang suppliers (couldn't remember if it was Custom Mustangs or Sydney Mustangs) and they aren't (too) hard to find.
A mistake I made was that I replaced the bush and found that the idler arm was flogged out anyway (it wasn't obvious until I re-installed it) and so if you have an old part and the bush is worn, then chances are the whole part is worn.

Tech Torque Pre 1973 / Idler arm
« Last post by pmb0186 on April 03, 2024, 10:28:52 pm »I understand the factor idler arms on non power steering cars spring back to centre to help steering return to centre .
Has anyone seen this first hand and know where such a bush can be sourced?
Thanks

I suggest replacing the seals while you are at it and keep a couple clips on hand
