Check this thread out.....it may answer your question !!

Thanks Besty. Cool 8)

I'm on to it now, Will order them asap.

Replaced the idler arm bush's, easy job however then noticed the idlerarm ball joint was shot. :(. Looks like I will have to replace the entire idler arm assy with a new one. :( Can get a second hand one for $125.00 and a new one through Toyota for $200.00. Any one want to buy some only just used idler arm bush's

$200 for new is a good price, I was quoted $330 6 months ago!!

Suggest you keep the bushes as spares..they WILL wear out :wink:

Acyual price was $212.87. In stock at Lincorp Rosehill. 96845777. Will fit on Saturday morning before going to Oberon.

Quoted me $335 for a genuine clutch kit. I'm going to fit a Daiken heavy duty clutch kit at a buy price of $285.

You going to do the clutch yourself? Just curious what you are going to use for an alignment tool, mine should have been replaced 10,000 k's ago hehe.

Also...how are you going to get the entire Idler arm off? That ball joint is a bitch..tried it once

Leon and Murray,

I used a thick black texta wrapped around a few times with lecco tape as a alignment tool, then measured it at 4 points with some verniers to check the difference and ajusted the clutch to suit.
From memory I think your allowed up to 0.4mm runout, correct me if I'm wrong.
The job only took me approx 3hr's to do and I've done 4 of them (1 was in shane's truck), I don't believe it's too hard, just need basic tool's and a bit of strength to lift the bell housing back on.

Hope this helps.

Mark & Murray,

Or a bolt wrapped in electrical tape works ok for a clutch alignment tool. For the idler I've got a puller or if it's real tight use a jack on the loosened ball joint nut to take as much weight as your game and then hit it with a big hammer. Let ya know how I go.

Hi Murray,

Replaced the idler arm this morning, bit of a problem getting the old one off. I ended up cutting out the old rubbere seal and then useing a 1 metre long wrecking bar and a big hammer. Came out easy. Don't know if I wil do the clutch myself. Bit more work involved.

The salesman at Lincorp told me they had Feroza idler bush's in stock, I didn't ask him the price.

Now to go and try Roza on the road then off to the mountains,
