Everyone that makes videos about panther car suspension repair (with the exception of 1A auto) you can never tell what they're talking about, you're very good.
Even knowing how to do it, I'll still go watch a vid sometimes so i know what size sockets and etc im gonna need to grab from my box at work. Solid video man
I missed the part where you actually put the idler arm on… you talk about installing it but then the video skips and the idler arm is on! Just saying because I’m kinda stuck where two bolts are not lining up
Well hell... my 1999 Marquis has SPLINED BOLTS going through the frame. You use any thing to turn them and you'll screw-up the splines like I did after watching some of these TH-camrs that never bother mentioning that fact.
Really good video Especially so since you also had to record it by yourself too! Really good lighting, nice, clear and smooth voice over and all too. Really well thought out. On that rusty link pin, if just replacing the bushings, instead of using a petroleum based lube, maybe try a high temp Silicone lube. Some high temp silicone brake pad lube should do it. It''s designed for under the hood use anyway. But like you say, if the arm assembly is about the same price as the bushing, and has those greasible "Zerk" fittings, why bother. Smart!!! TY!!!
straightforward and no BS. thank u, i subscribed. i would suggest maybe a tierod puller for 16 bucks at advance to help get that arm off the relay rod. its a multiuse tool u will use again. also, have a magnet ready in case one of your bolts falls off into the frame when u take the two nuts off. very helpful video. thank u.
I'm putting moog parts on everything so I'm just down to the idler and pitman arm that's loose. I replaced everything else except the sway bar bushings because rock auto says there's about 4 different size bushing diameters. Also RockAuto has really cheap pickle forks for like $10. I bought one but I'm going to order another because using two at once makes hammering then apart easy
I know this is old, but the idler arm won't line up with the center link bolt, I can't get the idler arm to line up with the bolt or bracket. Any ideas?
Tomorrow I'm getting nasty with the sleeve. May use some thermal persuasion and chipping away at the base of the linkage arm with a screwdriver. Thanks for your instruction.
@@SteveDavisCarGuy cool, thanks. I literally just quit trying before I asked you!!!! Gonna go try that now. Thanks big dawg for the video and info. No other videos show this much detail nor did they reply so fast!! Preciate ya playa

Only one of these Panther idler arm replacement videos that clearly describes the frame mount bolt and nut head sizes - well done.

😂 thanks sir
Great vid. Especially the last part where that collor was stuck. I was so confused trying to put the new part on. 💯

Great job Davis.

I will eventually do this to my 2000 Lincoln Town Car. Nice video, bro.
SalandFindles thanks
@@SteveDavisCarGuy good evening sir i am new to your channel how long have you been working on cars and who got you started to on the car game ?
anthony lee loved cars all my life, about 3 years ago I jumped into it heavy.

Job well done! I just don't have the tools, but I'm pretty sure I can do this!!!
Thanks for the info looks easy to do. Appreciate videos like this.
Kristopher Weber Thanks man glad I could help

Damn, my dad was right about needing a pickle fork :/ . On the bright side this video was great ! All the other ones are truck/ SUV ones .
ThreeDaysOfDan You can get it from autozone for free with the loan a tool program
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
Todd Hixson No problem brother

Good stuff, thanks my man.
U do u have to take the bolts out of the frame!?

How do I remove the rear shocks on a 96 mercury Grand Marquis

Thank you sooo much bro

I feel like moog is a waste, its like buying expensive designer clothes when you could get the same thing for less.
Is it still the same for the 97
Ty sir !! Much appreciated brother
Is this on a 2006 lx crown Victoria
Thank I'm working on my own car now.
Michael Gallion That's wassup, get her done.
I know this is old, but the idler arm won't line up with the center link bolt, I can't get the idler arm to line up with the bolt or bracket. Any ideas?
Good job
How on earth do you remove the sleeve from the linkage? I can't budge it. The bearing was real bad.
Tomorrow I'm getting nasty with the sleeve. May use some thermal persuasion and chipping away at the base of the linkage arm with a screwdriver. Thanks for your instruction.
Dope video bro 💯💯💯
Joe Cleezy 💯 Thanks my bro
Thanks
What about the driver side? Seems that it doesn’t have a idler arm?
Pitman arm on the driver side.
How the hell did you turn the new idler arm to connect it to steering arms??
Pliers
@@SteveDavisCarGuy cool, thanks. I literally just quit trying before I asked you!!!! Gonna go try that now.
Thanks big dawg for the video and info. No other videos show this much detail nor did they reply so fast!! Preciate ya playa
@@SteveDavisCarGuygot it done after dinner last night. Preciate the help and quick response Brotha ✊🏾
Thanks for the video! Didn't look too hard to do am I right?
Where did you get your part
Autozone if I remember correctly
Hella helpful thanks bro
the god dam splines on the bolts where it attaches to the frame will not let the adler arm go. going to get big hammer
What were your symptoms?
My new idler arm is stuck it wont turn. How did u turn the top piece that bolts to the body?
Derwin Kyle channel locks
@@SteveDavisCarGuy ok thanks. I thought the part was defective
So it turns to be able to put on

How important is the greesing. Like can it wait because we don't have that tool that shoots it up
We don't have a grease gun
Very important BUT you could go a while without doing it
I have a racking pinion on my crown vic
Really appreciate your video bruh.but you skipped the most important part. Putting the idler arm back on.
My mechanic having trouble connecting the new arm to the vehicle I drive a 1997 Lincoln Town car
Time for a new mechanic
Just replaced mine, thanks!
Dude kept trying to tell me there was one of these on my 2003. There isn’t one but they sell one for it🤷♂️.
$17, man where did those prices go?
Right 😩
@@SteveDavisCarGuy excellent video btw
Damn man, I got my arm for $7 on rockauto
+Ross S That's wassup
First time I ever see ya actually do some work mostly just talking . I thought some one else wa doing it for ya LOL
😂 wooooowwww
Can get the metal casing off
PB Blaster, if that doesn't work try map gas and pliers, last result would be a cutoff Wheel to split it and a flat screwdriver to help separate it
I think this is what is wrong with mine. I'll be lucky if I burn a tank of gas every other month so I'll let it ride for a year.
GEAUX FRUGAL 😂
Picklefork is 13 bucks at harbor freight and u own it forever bruh
Daddy Deadlo probably now but at the time it wasn’t
But I’ll definitely get it
Will it work with 97
Zayraa Badazz yes, your year is in the description
