How to Properly Maintain and Fix the Idler Arm on GMC Jimmy?

Vehicle service and Idler Arm repair starts by raising the vehicle through the use of safety stands. First disconnect the mounting bolts securing both the steering linkage shield and differential carrier shield. Begin the Idler Arm service by taking out the frame-mounted bolts and nuts using a correct tool for Ball Joint separation. Make use of the steering linkage and tie rod puller (J 24319-B) to separate the relay rod from the Idler Arm before you take off the Idler Arm. Thoroughly check the ball stud thread along with its seal for damage before cleansing the ball stud threads and nut. Attach the Idler Arm to the frame before installing its mounting bolts and nuts which need to be tightened to 79 ft. Lbs. (108 Nm). The ball stud of the Idler Arm should be connected to the relay rod with proper seal positioning while using the steering linkage installer (12 mm) (J 29193) or the steering linkage installer (14 mm) (J 29194) for taper seating that requires a 54 nm (40 ft. Lbs.) torque. Use the steering linkage installer to remove the ball stud nut before you can install a fresh nut on the Idler Arm ball stud where you should set the torque to 60 ft. Lbs. Return the differential carrier shield along with its mounting bolts to their position and tighten the bolts to 25 nm (19 ft. Lbs.). Then install the steering linkage shield. Proceed by lowering the vehicle then undertake front wheel toe adjustment.
