Hi Jackpot,
This link shows the exploded view of the steering (Figure 2). I am sure it is the same as the second gen's.

And this is a document on the idler.

I would think that the play will tend to be in the idler arm and that will show up on both sides but act most significantly on the Nearside therfore the left hand pull.
If you feel up to it just change the bushes in the idler arm as the link before shows. It will save you a packet.
Cheers
Edit.
Actually it's the Pitman Arm on the off side. In the exploded diagram shown before you can see the bushes that need changing (one top, one bottom and a grease seal).Last edited by lucky; 30 December 2003, 10:50.
