Does anyone know if there is two different idler arms for a 1999 Ram van 2500? Build sheet indicates 4000 lb axle. The ones I ordered are as sloppy as the old set, but there isn't a heavy duty listing anywhere I look.
I would definitely appreciate any thoughts on this problem.

 

I don't know if the idler arm is different for the 4000lb front axle, but I do know that all of these part numbers are correct for 4000lb front axle as I have purchased and installed these.
So, I know that the is correct for your van.
Which part number did you purchase?

I ordered Ultra Power K7106 idler arms from Rock Auto. That Moog part number was on the list, so assuming they are compatible. These are very loose and can be rocked up and down in frame. Going to look at it again tonight.
I appreciate your help and your parts list to reference.
