I was told recently that I would have to eventually replace my idler arm. today i noticed a slight increase in difficulty in turning the wheel and then tonight i noticed when i took my foot off of the brake, the car stopped in its tracks, almost like a go cart would. I am supposed to take a two hour trip in the morning with my two daughters. am i okay to drive the car?

What you described is not an idler arm issue and would have it looked at before the trip as you may have a brake issue
