Re: Need help with idler arm, 1955 Buick

Hi Willie,

the old part has much more looseness as the new one. A friend here who works at the "car safety inspection" told me also that it is normal, that these kind of threads has a bit looseness.

I made the adjustment exactly after the shop manual.

Thanks for your answer, now I am happy and ready to tour again. [img]<>/smile.gif[/img]
