Does anyone know if they make an overhaul kit or just have the bushing for
the the steering "Idler Steering Arm"?
Checked the price on the idler arm and its a big $120.00. I have slight
play in the bushing and would like to change it. Bushings for the steering
relay lever are only $8.00 a piece and can be purchased from Cinnebar.

An alternative is to machine a new bushing for the idler arm , the question
is what is the bushing made of-brass or bronze? I can machine one myself.

If you are going to machine your own bushing try Bearing Sales Inc.. They
have "Oillite" bushings in a variety of sizes. Maybe even the correct size.
I've seen stranger things happen

P.S. About time for a L.S.R. up date. I'll try to put together a
comprehensive report this weekend.
