Hi Guys,

Ive just pulled the idler arm off my d21 navara to fit a brace. The rubber seal where the idler arm attaches to the centre link has had it. If the pic works its shown by the red arrom. Are replacement seals avaiable at repco?

Just to let you know the pic is off the net forgot to take a pic before coming inside and just to lazy to get out there and take another photo

All the seals and bushes look pretty past it. Are replacement easy to get hold of.

Thanks Thomas

You can pretty much still get anything for these trucks, new.
I'm surprised everytime I ask for something.

Repco, SuperCheap, BNT, Autolign, Partmaster, just give them a call.

Not sure about your rubber request though. Download the manual and try and work out what its called.

My guess is the rubber boot will be part of the crossrod. Genuine you may get just the boot. Maybe have to custom make something, or just leave it till joint wears out and replace whole unit

Hi Thomas,
Sorry haven't had a chance to answer your pm yet :oops:
Ill just post it here since it's on topic.
Slide and fullthrottle have pretty much said what i would of. The boots you refer to are just covers over the ball joints on the draglink/centrelink. Just replace that component. Sounds like you're up to a 2wd drive steering conversion. They seem fairly popular at the moment.
In summary, welcome to D21 steering and IFS :roll:

Cheers,

Autolign/BnT used to do them when I worked there...You'll need to pull what's left of the old one off and take it with ya though...they were never listed under vehicle applications....
