Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Idler Arm P/N:IA6535RD
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.
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.
