How do you replace idler arm for 2002 astro van?

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.

How do you change an idler arm on a 1998 Safari?

The hardest part of changing an idler arm is getting the linkage separated. To do that you will need a ball joint fork and a big hammer. The end of the idler arm has a tapered shaft that is difficult to pull out. Remove the cotter pin, remove the nut, then start pounding the ball joint fork into the area between the idler arm and the tie rod with your big hammer. The tapered shaft is usually so tight that it takes quite a bit of effort to pull it all loose, but it will eventually come out. After you have pounded quite a while the thing will eventually come out, THEN disconnect the rest of the idler arm from he frame of the vehicle. It can be one of the more frustrating jobs related to working on automobiles. This particular vehicle has TWO idler arms, and they usually go bad at the same time. You will probably want to get the alignment checked after replacing the idlers.
