Built for trucks and SUVs that work hard, the Dorman RD Idler Arm IA6534RD belongs to Dorman's rugged-duty chassis line and is engineered for improved durability to help maximize service life under heavy use. 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.

The "RD" on the packaging stands for "rugged duty." Dorman created this exclusive line for severe-duty service, including off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other grueling conditions, and also positions it for emergency vehicles that demand maximum reliability. A steering idler arm supports the steering linkage on the side opposite the pitman arm and pivots as the wheels turn, which helps hold the linkage in position.

  • Upgraded direct replacement: Built to fit like the OE design on the listed severe-duty applications, with engineering aimed at improved durability.
  • No-compromise construction: Intended for vehicles used for off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other tough commercial jobs where readiness for duty is required.
  • Grease-ready joints: Where applicable, joints come pre-loaded with premium grease inside specially designed grease boots with molded-in standoffs. This streamlines installation and helps keep lubrication where it is needed.
  • Trustworthy quality: Designed and manufactured to strict specifications, and backed by a team of chassis engineering and manufacturing experts in the United States with more than a century of automotive experience.

Signs an idler arm may need replacing include excess play in the steering, wandering on the road, uneven tire wear or a clunk when turning. Worn tie rod ends and other linkage parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
