alignment ?
I just changed my idler arm and pitman arm , and my steering wheel was not aligned right . So today at work I pulled it on the alignment rack and noticed we don't have the data for my year 1994 . So I tried to do the alignment for a 95-00 s10 chevy blazer , everything seems to be staight and true but I don't no how simaliar they are . And I still have play in the wheel , guess the steering box is bad . I think i will try to adjust it tomorrow . I have only done about twenty alignments so I'm still new to it . Thanks .

I know you said you just replaced it but I replaced everything (tie rod ends, and idler arm, didn't do my pitman arm although i probably should have)
guy that did my alighnment said he couldn't center the wheel right because there was play in my steering box, turns out the new idler arm I put it(cheap auto extra) was worse then the old one, so I swapped it out for a moog(good quality) and 99% of my play went away.
I would never recommend using cheap parts for suspension, I only did because I had to do all 4 ball joints, idler arm and 4 tie rod ends(truck had a hard life before I got it) and was too cheap, plan on replacing pieces as they were one by one with good quality ones as they were out.(all tie rod ends but my moog one have broken boots already)
some one here wil have the specs you need..

Thanks yea I know you get what you pay for . I have replaced the idler arm twice and they were junk from the get go , like you said . I work at a auto repair shop and we get a pretty awesome discount . So i did buy the best the idler arm it is a moog problem solver Part # K6251T retails for 63.99 before tax .
