Looking for parts; Steering Idler and Lockset

Post by natesky »

Hey all,

#1 I've had a fairly loud groaning noise when steering (particularly when not moving), I feared I had messed up my balljoint replacement, however later I isolated it to the idler. I toped it off when I bought it (last year), however I think that hurt it more than help as it started making this noise not long after. I took it out this weekend, can't turn it by hand and can't get the arm off. Assuming I get the arm off, is this something (the Idler) that I can rebuild? I saw that IAP has a one (non-dampining), anyone know of other options?

#2 As you may remember, I lost my keys many months back. I've been getting by replacing the ignition switch with toggles & push button. However, I would like to get the doors, trunk and glovebox locks replaced, any suggestions as to my options or have door and trunk lock cyls I could purchase?

Thanks!

#1 i could (and others as well) have a field day with that first sentance... but i won't.

#2 find a quality locksmith, take him/her the locks and ask them to be keyed the same and the tumblers & springs refreshed.
