A member asked me and I found one original idler arm on some 80s takeoffs. But I also found 2 non-GM idler arms. They were visually very similar to the GM piece, not like todays thick moog part. Must have been a replacement back in the day.

I can take some pics if you want, but since they do not have the GM part number, you will lose the same points as a new Moog part.

I'd enjoy seeing pic's of the differences. I admit that judging will be impacted by an equal amount of any aftermarket piece so that is what it is. But seeing those differences would help sway which route i go. So thank you greatly for the offer.
