: Idler Arm Assembly and Tie Bar Question... hevyhaulers 12-09-2004, 04:54 PM I just took my truck in to tighten up the RCD lift and to my dismay the place said that the idler arm assembly and tie bar is busted. I have never had this truck off road and just can't believe this happened. To top it off, it's will not be taken care of under warranty because of the lift....anyone go through the same chit?? Terrible time for this to happen since the truck is up for sale and 2 buyers are coming up to see it this weekend :( The Original Diesel 12-09-2004, 05:15 PM I just took my truck in to tighten up the RCD lift and to my dismay the place said that the idler arm assembly and tie bar is busted.

You might want to look at Fabtec's new HD replacements. They look extra beefy............... hevyhaulers 12-09-2004, 07:16 PM It is a very common problem, especiallly on lifted trucks.

Thanks, I didn't know about that....not too familiar with lifted truck stuff and not too happy about crap breaking without ever getting off the pavement. hevyhaulers 12-17-2004, 12:49 PM ..turned out to be the idler arm assembly and pitman's. Great news, had a buddy at a local dealership get everything replaced under warranty :D Horse Trainer 12-17-2004, 12:54 PM Those parts a high wear items under the best of circumstances. My '97 with 80k has been through 3 sets. It's sole job is towing. Reminds me to check my '02 for the same thing | ||
