How to properly service and replace the Idler Arm on Chevrolet Express 1500?

The first step to replace the idler arm requires the vehicle to be lifted and properly supported. Unfasten the idler arm retaining nut from the relay rod then dispose of it. The disconnect process for the idler arm from the relay rod requires the Ball Joint Remover (J 43631). The technique starts by unbolted idler arm to frame mounting bolts then the idler arm is removed from the car. Begin the installation by positioning the idler arm on the frame while you should tighten the idler arm to frame mounting bolts at 150 Nm (111 ft. lbs.). The installation process requires connecting the idler arm to the relay rod before installing a new idler arm to relay rod retaining nut which should be tightened to 63 Nm (47 ft. lbs.). Below the vehicle, inspect the wheel alignment as the last step of the installation process.
