Pitman or idler arms to replace

[16v100bhp]

Already searched :D. 9 out of 10 threads talk about replacing pitman arm. But I do not see a bushing in the pitman arm.

There is steering wheel play and I wanted to try out replacing the pitman/idler arms. The Tierods - left right and center were installed new but its not helping.

Should I just go with the idler arm?

I have the same problem, curious to see if it fixes it for you. Everything I've read points to the idler arm...

Make sure the bolt is tight that holds the pitman arm to the steering box. I've seen them work there way loose and cause play. Idler arm bushing does wear out and probably needs replaced.

Doing all the above plus control arms this weekend. Hours of fun :)
