I'm putting my front end back together after a rebuild. I'm replacing the Idler Arm with a Moog part.
It came with a thick washer which the directions enclosed stated to use on the smaller end of the bushing
(bottom) where it attaches to the k-frame.
The arm I took off had no washers on it. The problem I'm running in to is the bushing end of the arm is a pretty tight fit into the K-frame bracket. There is no way this thick washer will fit between the bottom
end of the bushing and the bracket.
Is this a special hardened washer ? Can I use a thinner washer from the hardware store ? Or, leave it off and not worry about it ?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

if it is tight vetically in the K frame leave the washer out

:iagree: Sometimes those are made to fit more than one application, so the washer may need to be used when installing that same part on other cars.
Thanks Chryco and Charger_Fan.
I am curious if anyone else had the same issue with aftermarket Idler Arms.
Hope to get everything back together this weekend.
I left the washer out as well.......
Thanks to all that replied.
Got the idler arm in last night along with the tie rod and the right side center link .
Will be working on the pitman arm and lf side steering tomorrow.
