Flickr is more friendly ... I just tried to upload from flickr but apparently it won’t let me copy the full link. Damned if I do and damned if I don’t I guess. | | | Re: Front end suspension parts identification help. | Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 34 newbie | OP newbie Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 34 | Should be listed as Idler Arm, one on each side. Moog part#K7051, TRW#18766. There are 2 styles of arms(where they mount to the frame). Both mount to center link. Pitman arm(non-wear) goes from box to drag link. Ok that makes sense. They were pulling up tge idler arm at the parts store and was saying “that’s the one that goes from you steering box to the drag link†| | | Re: Front end suspension parts identification help. | Joined: Jan 2018 Posts: 72 journeyman | journeyman Joined: Jan 2018 Posts: 72 | Sometimes those parts store 'puters are hard to understand, unless you've actually been under a car! Got a set (1 each style) if you can't find what you need.

One thing to remember when looking for these parts, most parts counter workers won't even born till 20 years after these vans were made and know nothing about them that don't show on a computer screen, and because they are so busy, most places won't waste a lot of time searching for a part, unless you have the part number. In my area, all these parts stores are short-handed workers, guys answering phones, trying to wait on customers, running out to the parking lot to look at customers cars, they definitely need more help. | | | Re: Front end suspension parts identification help. | Joined: Jan 2018 Posts: 72 journeyman | journeyman Joined: Jan 2018 Posts: 72 | Did you find your idler arms? Seen on your other post about alignment specs.73 FSM shows a slight difference in CAMBER-- 0* to + 1/2* (+ 1/4* preferred) " " " TOE-IN-- 1/16 to 1/8 Caster & tread the same.
