idler arm woes

I have been trying to find a idler arm for my spider as it is a little loose. It would be nice to replace it before my alignment but I cannot find one. Is it called something else ? Dennis

You probably need the idler, not the idler arm, right?
What year is your car, as there are several kinds.

The guy at the shop said the idler arm needed replaced. There is just a little movement in the sockets. I have found idlers on many web sites just no Arms. I have also looked on yours. Dennis

joe, mine also is a 78 . Im going to take it to another shop to put up on a rack and find out exactly what I need . I will get back with you on the arm. I crawled under it and it seemed fine to me maybe a loose tie rod end.Thanks joe. Dennis
