Help keep your steering linkage supported and in line with the Delphi Steering Idler Arm (TA5189). It fits many vehicles, among them the 1964-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, 1964-1972 Chevrolet El Camino and 1970-1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, as a direct-fit front idler arm for the listed applications, with more Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac and GMC models in the Buyer's Guide tab. It supports and locates the steering linkage, working with the pitman arm to keep the center link level so tie-rod movement translates into accurate wheel response. If a worn idler arm is the cause of your loose or wandering steering, excess play at the wheel, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Delphi TA5189 idler arm do?

It supports and locates the steering linkage, working with the pitman arm to keep the center link level so steering input translates accurately to the wheels.

Is this the right Chevelle idler arm for a 1964-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle?

Yes. It is a direct-fit front idler arm for the 1964-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, along with many other vehicles. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year and vehicle.

What's included with this idler arm?

Delphi includes the necessary accessories to complete the job. Consult the vehicle service information for correct fastener torque and installation procedure.

What are signs my idler arm may need replacing?

Loose or wandering steering, excess play at the steering wheel, and uneven tire wear can be signs. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources.

Should I replace both steering linkage parts at once?

Idler arms are sold individually. Inspect the pitman arm and tie-rod ends at the same time, as worn mating components often show similar symptoms.
