Connecting rod bearing replacement.

John

It was successful. The truck runs it still has a little pitter patter but it's better than the tick tick before.

John Welcome to the club...

Very good! Hopefully you get some extended life out of it now! Congrats on the repair!

John

My new idler arm that goes into the center link will not pivot.

I got it to move after putting 200 pounds of force on it, but shouldn't it swing freely?

MazdaMitch

John how did it feel before you bolted it up? Should have been able to move it by hand.

I don't know, never tried moving this on my own B2200 when I installed a used power steering gear. When you bolt everything up, how does turning the steering wheel feel?

MazdaMitch

Ya know this started out as a connection rod post and now it's steering and suspension related.

It's best to put posts where they belong for better archive/search function.

Not all lumped together.

MazdaMitch I understand that but if your talkin to someone on here it's difficult to go and have to change to another page just to ask them something else if that's the case the person your talkin to should reply with change pages other than just start answering your questions that's my opinion and I know we all have one of each

The point of a forum is organization. This is obviously a new topic, the idler arm. So it only makes sense to make a new post under the correct category. Thats how forums have worked since the 90's.

Otherwise we might as well be back on facebook in one continuous mess of a feed.

MazdaMitch ya I know it'd just kinda strange gettin use to

Where did this thread come from? I couldn't find it for a couple days.

John

It loosened up a lot, but the steering wheel is still stiff and it has a hard time unwinding.
