Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Idler Arm and Bracket Assembly P/N:541-153
Keep your steering linkage properly supported with the Dorman OE Solutions Steering Idler Arm and Bracket Assembly, part number 541-119. It is built to help restore proper steering function when the original idler arm or bracket has worn out or been damaged. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1978-1985 Chevrolet Impala, 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu and 1995-2005 Chevrolet Blazer. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The idler arm supports one end of the steering center link and pivots with the linkage as the wheels turn. This assembly combines the arm and its mounting bracket in one unit, so it can replace the idler arm on a 1995-2005 Chevrolet Blazer or the same part on the other listed vehicles.
Signs that an idler arm may need replacing include excess play in the steering wheel, a vehicle that wanders on the road, a clunk when turning and uneven tire wear. Inspect the steering linkage to confirm the cause before replacing any part. Afterward, check the wheel alignment as directed by the vehicle service information.
