Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Idler Arm P/N:541-141
Help keep your steering linkage properly supported with the Dorman - OE Solutions Idler Arm, part number 541-134. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 1999-2006 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2000-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
In a parallelogram steering system, the idler arm holds up the end of the center link opposite the pitman arm and pivots as the wheels turn. This helps keep the linkage level and in position. If a worn original is the cause of wander or excess play, this steering idler arm replaces it as a direct-fit part for the listed applications.
Signs an idler arm may need replacing include steering that wanders or feels loose, extra play at the wheel, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. Worn tie rod ends and other linkage parts can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the whole linkage before replacing parts. Have the alignment checked after installation.
