an idler arm holds the right side of the steering linkage.its job is to mirror the movement of the pittman arm.the pittman arm holds the left side of the linkage(pittman arm is attached to the steering gear. i.e. when you turn the steering wheel,the steering gear turns the pittman arm,which moves the steering linkage,which turns the tires.) idler and pittman need to move together so tires move together. (for more info try searching "parallel steering linkage")
You need a wedge tool to separate the arm from the main steering rod , then unfasten the two bolts and it is off .
You have to have a puller to get it off the gear box, no other way. PIT-MAN ARM PULLER
Well they do make pittman arm tools... might help. if you dont have one, sometimes places like Oreily auto parts have tools designated that you buy, use, and then can refund full price so that you only have to be out the money if you lose it or keep it.
You will need a special tool called a "fork" that pops the connection. Remove the nut at the end of the idle arm joint then put the fork in place and give it a few good hits with a big hammer. Of course you will complete the destruction of the idle arm, but you're replacing it anyway. After the joint is loose, remove the bolts from the frame and drop the idle arm and replace it.
there is an "idler arm", its part of the steering and runs horizontal, as well as a pitman arm
check your pitman arm and idle arm
