Have finished, I think the front end rebuild. The reason I ask is there is no boot or sponge washer like on the pitman arm and one did not come with it. The old set up didn't have one but now after I torqued the idler to specs I have about an 1/8" or so gap between the idler and center link. I apologize for all the questions and appreciate the help. Thanks Pete

There should be a sponge washer at the idler connection also.They're not structural,they are provided to keep grease in and road grime out.Usually 2 washers come with the center link.

Thanks I only got one sponge washer. I'll have to find another one. Pete
