Its just an idler box and arm, common as to flog out, i think you can get bush kits for them

Winner. :armsup:
You can buy kits for the ends but if the J arm ball is chewed out it's time for a new/second hand J arm. New is very expensive. You can also buy new complete drag links if the link slot is flogged out too.

Have u checked the idler itself? My draglink ends were buggered and i didnt notice the movement in the idler till i put a fair load on it. Anyway yeh go to repco and grab a couple of draglink repair kits mine were about $15 and easy to fit.

I thought the drag links were the ones that went from wheel to wheel to keep the right alignment ?

by the way this is a solid axle hilux

I am quite familiar with the IFS

Draglink goes from pitman arm to swivel hub. Tie rod goes between wheels
