Help keep your steering linkage steady and responsive with the Mevotech TTX idler arm, part number TXMS50916, a front steering component built around patented sintered bearings. It is listed for many models from Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac, 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.
As a steering idler arm, it supports one end of the center link and pivots as the wheels turn. It works with the pitman arm to hold the linkage in position. If a worn idler arm is the cause of loose or wandering steering, this unit replaces it.
