Do Roller Idler Arms work?

cant beat the voice of experience. i would add however that you should add another degree of caster since you lose the spring back action of the rubber bushing. this helps return the steering wheel to the neutral position.

The extra caster will help keep the car going straight at speed also. The factory alignment settings don't have enouph caster.

The idler arms we sell for the 67-up cars is the arm from Moog. They have what's called a gusher bearing. The arm is greasable on each end unlike the stock arm that had a rubber bushing at each end. They get inspected and assembled with no mods done to them.
The arms for the early cars get the bushing end machined down so the roller bearing kit will work with the stock frame bracket. They fit early Falcons too if you use a V8 Mustang type frame bracket instead of the three bolt type the V8 Falcons came with.

I put one on my daily driver 64 Falcon Sprint with P/S and I could tell the car steered smother and I could feel the road better. They work great in both manual and power steering cars.
