I have removed the old worn out bushing from my idler arm and am somewhat confused. How exactly does this pivot. The bushing came apart and I found that it turned shockingly easily against the outer metal shell. Perplexingly it also turned against the spindle that mounts to the frame with some slop between the inner core of the bushing and the spindle. Could someone explain whether it is supposed to be this way? I am somewhat afraid the spindle for the idler arm got worn by the inner sleeve of the bushing turning against it with no lubrication.
