Biggest piece of advice I have for anybody doing this is do the idler arm with the bracket together, remove them together as one piece and install them outside of the truck together then install together. Do it like that and the whole job should take you less than an hour, it's not worth splitting the idler arm from the bracket to save $40

I love this channel. I basically learned how to rebuild my truck watching these videos. Thanks a lot guys!

Thank you, my son and I just replaced his idler arm today. Now we are on to the pitman arm.

How was the Pittman? I'm tackling it right now

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos Nice to see the job before ripping into it

Great video. Just ordered one for my Denali. The steering felt like an 80’s Chevy and after jacking up the truck to check for play I realized my idler arm had a massive amount of play. Like the drag link could move 1/4-1/2” when moving the wheel side to side. Looks pretty easy from the video. I hope I can get the idler arm to seperate from the drag link that easy.

I like how you show real life examples like the bolts being rusted out

Thank you! John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

How did you pop that bolt out so easily?!? After you put the pieces of wood between it took you one hit and it popped out. I can't seem to get mine to move

I was looking for the torque specs for attaching the idler arm to the idler arm pivot bracket but watching this I felt simultaneously grateful and silly. LOL I immediately realized that with the need for the Allen head driver, there is no way you could get a torque wrench on the nut! Duh!! 🙂 Thanks for another great video!

Looks easy. Thanks for including torque specs

watched this twice and getting ready to tackle the job... somehow I'm thinking it's gonna take me more than 6 minutes...lol

You have explained and made the process of my job much easier, Thank you!

I'm not sure what I'm seeing, but at 0:35 when you're taking off a 21mm nut, it looks like your impact is spinning clockwise?? Is that a reverse thread?

Good job excellent God bless thanks bro learning olot from this videos

great video and well explained

great video thanks for the video why would you have to align it though if you put it back exactly the same?

Are pitman arms only on 4WD trucks? I can't seem to find mine unless I'm just blind

Came here to find the torque spec for the idler arm nut. Everything else has a torque spec but the idler arms torque spec is nice and tight lol nice.

Can I do this job and also the pitman arm while the truck is on the ground?

Do you have to add grease to the idler arm?

Does this repair require the tires to be off the ground?

What’s the reason for those parts to be replaced or what was the issue?

Is there an official torque spec for the idler arm to the bracket?

Did the truck kinda bounce and shake the front end over bumps before replacing the idler arm?

Mine did. Especially going downhill when I hit the brakes. Most people think warped rotors first when that happens but alot of times it is a bad idler arm.

bouncing is shock absorbers. idle arm is more throwing the truck side to side with the sway of the road
