Got an idler arm bearing kit. Problem is it doesn't seem like the right one.
I got it from Mustangs Plus. I think the one I have is for a six banger based on the the instructions.

Here is the link from Mustangs Plus
http://www.mustangsplus.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MPFMP&Product_Code=05280

Note the idler arm in the for ground and the idler arm in the background. Also notice ALL the pieces for the background idler arm. I have THAT kit. Seems like there are too many pieces for the idler arm I have. I have a V8 Manual steering idler arm. The description on the site says it should work with a v8 manual or quick steer idler arm.

The pieces I have don't even fit right inside the idler with the bushing pushed out. I did a search and saw the previous thread Dodgestang started. His looks like it has few parts from what I can see.
