If you have a stock IA, you need the stock bushings...otherwise you'll end up having to ship the other ones back when you realize the HD ones don't fit, like I did lol

Yeah Im redoing my steering with a grassroots centerlink so I went ahead and ordered a new idler arm and needed to know which ones because they say you need them because the are heavy duty than the oe ones but then I got to the site and was like do I order the HD ones or the stock ones lol thanks for clearing that up for me!

Okay so I think I have a problem. I bought a new raybestos idler arm to replace my old one so I could pre drill the idler to fit the new centerlink. well I went to install the bandit bushings into the idler arm and its like they are too little and theres play in the idler arm like it can move back and forth? something wrong?

Yeah aftermarket parts vary. When used with the OEM arms they should fit correctly.
