Idler Arm Rubbing

[vwp6269]

Hello everyone,

 

I did a little offroading and bent the cognito heim joint studs on my 1/2 ton. Upon further investigating i found this. Does anyone happen to know whats wrong or bent or be so kind to take pics of their's to see how much clearance it has? Thanks

May need another pic, a little farther away. I can make out too much. I see the contact, but cant tell what has been tweaked.

I tried a MOOG idler arm and it allowsw better clearance but just barely.

hmmm....

 

if i were you, i'd have checked engine mounts. it just looks like engine sagged down on one side.... unless you bent the frame to approximate idler arm TO the engine....
