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.
