So yeah, I'm going to finally attend to my steering situation on my 142. As some of you may know, I aquired a tight, non leaking steering box and a tight idler arm assembly from a 1970 145. Then I ran into the problem of my car being a 1968, thus the holes for the tie rod assemblies are different sizes.

Here's what I'm thinking:

-I ordered a new idler arm bushing, and will attempt to stick it in my 68's idler arm assembly. Do you guys have any tips on installing one of these? Is it something I can do on my own with basic hand tools?

-If that doesn't work out too well, I can take off the arm from my 68 idler assembly and stick it on the assembly from the 70 145 correct?

-For the steering box side, I want to take the arms off and swap them between my leaky/loose 68 box and tight/sealed 70 box.Tips and suggestions on getting this done and keeping the arms centered?

Thanks for any and all experiences/advice/tips blah you may have! As usual... ;-)
