So I just got back from deployment and was inspecting the underside of my '69 coupe and noticed that it looks like the donut-shaped bushing that goes between the idler arm and the relay rod (opposite the castle nut) seems to be gone.
Anyone ever seen this before?
I looked at an entire replacement idler arm at the parts store and it doesn't seem efficient to but a whole new idler arm for just the bushing.
Were the factory bushings at this location made from rubber just like the dust boots?
