Be aware that there are two versions of the idler arm with different spacing between mounting holes. 87 mm (3.43") (Motorcraft MEOE59) and 60 mm (2.4")(Motorcraft MEOE58). Check your spacing before ordering parts!
Another tip when replacing anything with a grease fitting: If you can grease it off the vehicle before you put it on, it's much easier. Grease it on your bench and then put it on.
Can it be done without jacking up the vehicle?As long is there’s room.
Arent you supposed to align the arm on the frame to align with the center link??
Thank you!! Always a big help
Beware, what you didn't see is that he removed the plastic fan shroud otherwise the top frame bolt along with socket and socket wrench or bar will not fit, you'll need a swivel socket joint and long extension in some cases to clear the transmission lines going from the cooler to the trans if its 2003 f150 4.2 You don't need to remove the plastic fan shroud if you use the socket swivel joint.
What size is that castle nut and where can I find one I replaced my idler arm but lost the castle kur where can I find a replacement castle nut ??
What make and model idler arm did you use and what is the hole spacing??? I have a 2002 f150 5.4 4×4 crew and do not know what to order….help please…
Anyone know it 02 f150 crew 4×4 bolt spacing is 2.5 or 2.48 whats the normal for crew cabs? Thanks
If only doing Idler Arm and nothing else, would I need to redo alignment?
There's not that much room down there
