Who sells Ilder arm bushing

I see that MAzdaTrix sells a whole upgraded assembly, just want the bushing. Where do you turn to for these parts? Thanks.

I got mine from a place in Garland, TX called All Import Parts for a whopping $5 for the set. I'm not sure if they ship or not, but that should be a locally available part. Autozone had them just not in stock. Like $40 for the set at Autozone.

If you replace the idler arm, get one with the bronze bushing. Iirc, Moog is the best.

Thanks guys, I didn't bother to think that the parts stores might have them. You never can tell what they will or will not have. I have been rebuilding Jeeps and Scouts, sometimes they have the most obscure parts, sometimes not even the common ones. I guess I need to continue the practice of asking them anyway.

It's quite a switch going from over-sized parts to "undersized". My air compressor filled the 13 inch tires in seconds. Takes much longer to fill 33 x 12.50s.
