What`s difference between 67 and 68 idler
arms? I know that center links are same from
67 to 69, so is pitman arm (power steering).
67 arm is more expensive than 68 arm even in
my area.I have a 67 Coupe with a 327 .

Unfortunately, there evidently were some steering geometry changes from 67 to 68. The 67 idler arm has a forged bend in it. The 68 and 69 idler arm is straight. I also have a 67 camaro that had a severly worn idler arm when I bought it. I searched high and low and found that few companies manufacture the 67 arm. Thus, it unfortunately commands quite a premium from your wallet. I think I ended up getting some jerk at Pep Boys to order me one for about 50 bucks. It was the best price I could find. If you have any more questions, email me at jrt67ss350@hotmail.com. Good luck

I replaced the one on my 67 with a replacement from Parts America and it matched the old one. It was less than $50 and they had it in stock.
