Oh so these parts were for rear axle?
The description on some parts saying FRONT lower position!
Made me think these parts were for the front axle?

So all these parts I linked with pictures are for REAR axle?

Right now I'm only shopping for front axle suspension parts!

Thanks for explaining to me!

I found a good picture for front parts on www.parts.com

It's about the IDLER ARM mounted on center link!
It's haj lajted in color RED!

Does this part wear out?
Does it have any rubber bushing on it or is it plain cast iron or something?
Here is the picture

I was thinkin' to buy this part too!

Thanks

it says front because it goes more toward the front of the rear link assembly.

DP was a penetrating description!
Yeah, Swedish smorgasbord is wellknown in the US!

And that's not a table filled with sandwiches!

I only linked the Deutsche Parts picture because it showed all the parts needed for the front suspension overhaul.

So I only need to buy the red arrow marked part?
What's it called?

What about the IDLER ARM shown above?
Is this a part that goes bad?
Does it have any rubber bushing fitted to this part?

Thanks

those are sway or stabilizer links for the rear, not sure why they are pictured with front end parts?

idler arm bushing can fail, as they are rubber. check it for play by moving the arm vertically up and down to see if there is movement.

Maybe it's like you said crappy parts and the company who sells this brand doesn't know where to place the correct part on picture!
Maybe they have no clue what they are selling?
Selling crappy parts is bad for business!

About the IDLER ARM?
I bought the idler arm repair kit.
Containing bolt/bushing of Corteco brand

But about the idler arm, this is made of cast iron with a rubber bushing compressed inside?
Isn't there another rubber bushing than the idler arm kit?

So by moving the idler arm up n down back n forth will reveal if there is any play?

Maybe this part has long life wear n tear before it breaks?

I realized the description was to graphic!
Sorry
