Could someone help me out on the part numbers for the pitman and idler arms. The tire shop that was going to do an alignment for me, because of my Ford Syndrome, said that they are bad and that is what is causing it to look like my camber is f 'ed up. Also, how would I troubleshoot these on my own to determine if they are indeed bad?


Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I don't know the part numbers. The idler and pitman arms will not have an effect on camber, only toe. The best way to check is to have some one move the steering wheel back and forth while you watch the idler arm, pitman arm and tie rod ends. There should not be any movement at any joint.
