I wanted to change my idler arm over to a roller bearing but the kit I bought doesn't fit, the place I bought it from said it was only for the Shelby quick steer idler. I did not see that when I ordered it, the kit I got was Grab-a-trak 5280, is there not a roller kit I can get for a manual steer 1965 non Shelby idler arm?

 

Roller idler arm kits have been around for forty years and are STILL not worth fooling with, IMHO. Bushing style standard idler arms are STILL the way to go. Just sayin
Best,

I have and like my roller idler on my m/s '67. But it's not for everyone, and I probably wouldn't replace a good factory unit with a roller unit.

But if you want one, take a trip to OpenTracker Racing Products.

 

I have the roller idler arm from Opentracker and like it better than the regular one.
