I have a shimmy concern along with excessive play in the steering wheel on my '47 Frazer. I made some adjustments to the steering box which did help the concern. Moving the front wheels shows some looseness in the idler arm area. the shop manual is not very specific on how tight the upper and lower bushing should be. I have ordered a new idler arm kit from Wilow Run Parts to have on hand. Can I try tightening the upper and lower bushings first (they look threaded) or plan on replacing the components with the kit?
Thank you in advance,
