This weekend I will changing out the bushing on my steering idler arm.
Reviewing the service manual, I thought that the bushing need to be installed
in a certain orientation, because the bushing themselves have a red-band around
one portion od the outer diameter. The instructions do not mention
those bushings on my '95. I do remember that there is one or two
exhaust heat shields that you need to remove in order to get a good attack
angle for those bolts.

This of the engine bay of my ML. Lots of stuff. Things that need to be
removed to get at the buried oil cooler.
1) left and right air filters
2) engine bay shielding
3) intake plenum
