Location: Victoria, AUSTRALIA | does anyone know the procedure for installing and correct adjustment for one of these?
I have a large manual and it does not discuss the idler arm
The bushing but is left thread I think and the arm is right thread
the large fitting which screws into the chassis bracket
you can wind the arm into the bushing as far as you want
the smaller fitting which goes thru the Centrelink
you cannot wind the arm on as it hits the centrelink bar
if you try and screw it in the bushes winds out as the threads are opposite
I'm sure I'm doing it wrong just need a push along
thanks

feel so dumb
That was it for some reason I had it in my head the Centrelink bolted to pitman arm from underneath
but it does not, comes in from the top which then spins the centrelink over and the idler arm does up perfect.
I am converting the New yorker back to LHD, the previous owner started so slowly getting the bits done as I restore it
thanks for your help
