Built for vehicles that work hard, the Dorman - OE Solutions idler arm IA6447RD helps support the steering linkage and keep it moving evenly as you turn the wheel. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1993-1999 Chevrolet C1500, 1993-1999 Chevrolet K1500 and 1995-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
This steering idler arm is part of Dorman's RD line, and the RD on the package stands for "rugged duty." These chassis components are engineered for severe-duty service, including off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other grueling conditions. The line also suits emergency vehicles that need maximum reliability, such as ambulances and off-road rescue trucks. The arm is designed for improved durability to help maximize service life under heavy use.
- Upgraded direct replacement: designed to fit like the OE design in the specified severe-duty applications, and engineered for improved durability.
- No-compromise construction: intended for off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other tough commercial jobs where readiness for duty is required.
- Pre-greased joints (where applicable): each joint is pre-loaded with premium grease inside specially designed grease boots with molded-in standoffs. This helps streamline installation and keep lubrication where it needs to be.
- Trustworthy quality: backed by a team of chassis engineering and manufacturing experts in the United States and by more than a century of automotive experience.
An idler arm may need replacing if you notice excess play or looseness in the steering, wandering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning. If a worn idler arm is the cause, this unit replaces it.
