Look at the listing. The lower box tells you what is included. As a side note, you could pry the two washers off and see if they will press on to the new arm. If the ID of the thru sleeve is larger on the new arm, it won't work, but could be worth a try.
 
There are differences in appearance like this in different manufacturers parts, it will likely work fine.

Thats the thing, I put on a new moog one before summer, it felt nice and steady.
But now I felt that something was not right with the steering and traced it to the idler that I now can wiggle up and down by hand (The bolt is tight against the center bushing.)

So now I want to find the one with the fat bushings/washers and see if it holds up longer.

I agree but you need to call him for the time being as he sorts out a few things on his plate. I don't believe I can post his number per the board rules tho' (sorry)

Yes but he can share his number through a personal message.
 
I spoke with him yesterday and his tablet STB and he is offline. He was working to get another one. I should have said that in my earlier reply.
