Chevrolet Astro Idler Arm plays an important role in the steering mechanism of the car by offering the pivotal bearing for the center link, to be specifically located on the frame of the car adjacent to the passenger side. As for the Idler Arm, it is also used together with the Pitman arm and the main purpose of the Idler Arm is to adjust and enhance the ability of the center link so as to position itself at the optimal height. Because the Idler arm moves in the middle of the linkage it takes more punishment than the Pitman arm does and it should be checked periodically and lubricated to ensure correct operation and a long life. Thus, maintenance of the Idler Arm enables the steering system to be stable and helps in averting problems in the steering linkage system.

    Q: How to replace the idler arm on Chevrolet Astro?
    A:
    When replacing the idler arm you must first raise the vehicle then disconnect its two keeping bolts. The prevailing torque nut needs removal from both the idler arm ball stud. The Steering Linkage and Tie Rod Puller (J 24319-B) separates the relay rod from the idler arm before you remove the arm. Examine the ball stud threads before cleaning both the ball stud threads and ball stud nut threads. Also verify the ball stud seal remains intact without any damage. Mount the idler arm to the frame after installing two bolts which need to be tightened to 105 Nm (77 ft. lbs.). Demonize the Steering Linkage Installer (J 29193) for inserting the relay rod onto the idler arm ball stud while maintaining the seal position on the stud then fasten with 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.) for taper seating. To replace the J 29193 locking tool you must install a new prevailing torque nut at the idler arm ball stud before tightening it to 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). The vehicle needs to be brought near the ground level before final toe-in adjustment.

    Q: How to service and repair the idler arm on Chevrolet Astro?
    A:
    Firstly, raise the vehicle to service and repair the Idler Arm. On the use of the universal steering linkage puller (J 24319-B), separate all of the Ball Joints. Drill and remove the two bolts from the Idler Arm and the prevailing torque nut out of the Idler Arm ball stud, and dispose of the nut. Then, use the j 24319-b to remove the relay rod from the Idler Arm, and also remove the Idler Arm. The ball stud threads and seal should be inspected for breakage, and the threads on the ball stud and the ball stud nut should be cleaned. For installation, mount the Idler Arm to the frame and install the bolts and tighten it to 105 nm (77 ft. Lbs). Accordingly, attach the relay rod to the Idler Arm ball stud using the steering linkage installer (J 29193), make sure that the seal is in place, and tighten to 54 nm (40 ft. Lbs.) to mold the tapers in a proper manner. After disassembly of j 29193, replace a new prevailing torque nut to the Idler Arm ball stud and tighten the nut to 47 nm (35 ft. Lbs.). Finally, lower the vehicle and regulate the toe-in.
