P.S vs Non P.S Idler arm, what is the difference?

[midpack]

The vert needs a new Idler arm, failed vehicle inspection :dun

I've been looking for one and some suppliers list them together, some separate..

What do I need to look for?

BTW... the car is power steering

Napa has them if you not looking for concourse. If you have OEM you may just need a bushing

Manual Steering have a rubber bushing which twists during turning and is meant to snap back the steering wheel after turning... power steering doesn't have this feature...

I could be totally wrong, but doesn't one of them have"teeth" that grip into the rubber?

and if you get rid of the pos rubber twister and use a roller bearing with 2+ degrees of positive caster, it'll do the same thing with less effort!

I think this is reversed: it is the power steering idler arm bushing that has the serrations to allow the system to return to center.
