    Default Ta22 Idler Arm bushes

    Just wondering if anyone knows what size the idler arm bushes are for a ta22, mine are ruined and the mechanic gets ones that are apparently for a ta22 but it dosent fit. He measured my idler arm up and the size needed to be 24mm outer diameter and 16mm inner diameter. the ones that he gets in are 24mm outer and 18mm inner.
    Could my idler arm have changed by previous owners? Also, is there anywhere to get bushes made up at all? or any place to get idler arm for a ta22 or ones that are interchangable for a ta22.

    Any help would be great
    Thanks

    I used nolathane bushes listed for a cortina mk1 (i think) rear spring/shackle

    would pay to check the sizing of them but it was close to the TA22 ones i took out.
    I also tightened it up by putting a thin washer the same dia as the bush under each side.

    there are 2-3 different types of idlers out there depending on year.

    Yeah mine where worn on my 74' TA22 aswell

    They wouldnt let me ova the pits without a new one,
    I got mine ordered in from Auto1, there are two different ones.
    The 1 I got came with the 2 piece bush and the sleeve that sits between the bush and the bolt...

    I'll try and find out which 1 I got,
    And I'll let u no...

    I was able to get it fixed, Pedders found some bushes that fitted but wern't for a TA22, i should have asked what they were from.
