What year steering linkage pieces will interchange with a 72 Satellite? Specifically, will an idler arm from a 73 Satellite work with a 72 Satellite suspension? I am not overly familiar with B-bodies, so pardon the ignorance. Thanks! |

I believe the B body front end is the same from '65 up to '72, so any of those years will work. The '73's went to the isolated K frame and some suspension/steering pieces where changed, so I would just stay with the '72 down parts to be safe. I know larger C body tie rod ends will work and help to make the steering linkage work with less deflection. |

Thanks! As you know, local parts stores don't stock the idler arm, so I am trolling online sources to find a good one. I have my eye on some NOS ones on e-bay. I just hope the price doesn't get too high. |

Your local Napa shoud be able to get you one. They list an idler arm and an idler arm bushing kit on their web site. http://www.napaonline.com/masterpages/N ... PageId=100 Here is Shucks web site, looks like they have one also, but you'll have to have it ordered or order it yourself and pick it up. Done this a few times myself and never had a problem! http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductList ... =Idler+Arm |
