Default Roller Idler

Has anyone used the roller idler arm from open tracker?

Is it worth it?

Can you make them like you can make roller perches?

I've got one install on a manual steering car. Love it. except for the manhandling you have to do at 0-2 mph, everything else is as good as power steering. One item of note is that a roller idler does not have the tension needed to help recenter the steering wheel, so all that pulls your wheels straight is your alignment.

We put one on Jonward's p/s car. I keep forgetting to ask him how it is compared to my m/s car.
