Re: IML: ?Idler Arm, Fan Shroud Questions...

[commenace@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

If I were to rebuild the idler arm, would the alignment need to be redone?  I just had it done.  Was it for naught?

All the cooling parts are new, except of course for the radiator which was rebuilt and recored.  I wonder if I got screwed?

Thanx for your help...
