This problem baffles me! I bought a new steering idler with arm for my 67 3000. I unhooked the ball joints connected to the arm and removed the idler. I installed a new idler and arm
making sure that the new idler and arm were the same size as the old one. I then bolted the ball joints onto the arm and put the wheel back on. Now when the driver's side front wheel
is pointing straight ahead, the passenger side wheel is pointing to the right about 20 degrees! The ball joint that goes to the link to the wheel is bolted to the hole that is closest to the idler and the tie rod is bolted to the hole farthest away which is ( I hope )the right configuration.
Does anyone have a explanation for this mystery?
