G'Day List,

I had some slop in my idler arm, you could lift the arm up there was that much slop.
I replaced the bushes, but still there was slop.
The idler arm shaft is too small for the bushes.

I even replaced the whole steering rack assembly - same problem.

I just wrapped the idler arm shaft with a few turns of newspaper (dodgy, only for 
experimentation purposes) and the problem went away the steering is sweet as.

Is this slop standard or am I missing a sleeve or something?
I cannot believe that the shaft has worn down that much and that evenly on both arms.

What can I do to fix the problem properly?
