Steering Components

Unread post by Bucolic » August 16th, 2018, 11:57 pm

Is there a replacement part available for the Pittman arm and the idler arm bushings? I've already bought new tie-rod ends (4) and a new tie-rod. There are no bushings on the tie-rod. All four tie-rod ends have a bushing installed. Any idea what I need to buy now?
Oh, I also have two new tie-rod end connector sleeves.

Which model ?
Idler arms for 151 are separate pieces.
I have an idler arm for later models if you want.
May have a pitman arm also.

I was really hoping someone would post something like " Yeah, the idler arm bushing for a 19?? XXxX fits perfectly" or something like that.
I would really like to install new parts if possible.
Oh, if it matters, I have a 1964 M151 A1.

I have never seen the idler arm bushings listed separately, I have only seen it sold as a complete unit. Pretty sure A1 and A2 use the same one.
