What is idler arm
#24
Bringing this Thread back to the top.........
So, looks like my wife's 95 Blazer (under 110k miles) is in need of steering component replacement.
With the front of the vehicle up on stands, I can wiggle the wheel (either side) back and forth about 1/4 to 5/16 inch (give or take a little).
It looks that a bit of the "play" is internal of the steering box.......... is that adjustable? Or, is there some small normal movement within the specs of the steering box?
Lastly, it looks as if the consensus is to replace all four b-joints, all tie rod ends and the idler arm. ........... so, are there any recommended on-line sources?

Although it has been years (and I mean a long time) since I've done any front-end work on a GM product, this looks fairly straight forward. Is there any tips or "gotcha" things I need to be aware of? Is there anything else that should be replaced?
I realize an alignment will be needed.
The oil line assembly over to the remote oil filter is leaking ...... what part will I be looking for?
