How do you replace idler arm for 2002 astro van?

In: Chevy Astro [Edit categories]

Answer:

go buy the new arm so you have an idea what your looking for. then your gonna wanna jack the front end up find the arm on the steering linkage depending if you have allwheel drive you have two idler arms ,two wheel drive one . theres three bolts two holding the idler arm on the frame and one holding the linkage. you shouldn't have a problem getting all three bolts off,but it gets tricky putting the new arm on with the one bolt to the linkage you usually need an impact wrench to tighten cause the shaft tends to turn with the bolt. PS if you have allwheel drive replace both arms with moog brand, ac delco brand, or flacon brand parts otherwise you'll be doing it again very soon within a couple thousand miles.
