+John Lowry Thank you for your order. If you would like to leave us a review on Google it would be greatly appreciated. Here is a link to our reviews section. Have a great day! goo.gl/i5JFNY
Just did this job. Do not under estimate the amount of force that may be required to get them to break loose. I used PB blaster, 3lbs sledge and cheater pipe......and did a lot of cussing. On the pitman arm I even had to put heat on it. This was in Texas so there was not a lot of rust. I really appreciate the video. Thank you.
Taking that front guard makes it slightly easier for visibility if you dont have a lift. Amazing video 🙌

How much does this cost to get done on both sides?
+@sunshineintuitivehealing4793 We do not have a price available for the repair. We recommend contacting local mechanics to provide you with an estimate.
Nice stuff
😍great demonstration od dextricity - thx 👀
I want to get a frond end rebuild kit for my 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 2WD but I noticed the one 1A sells says 4WD does that matter? or will it still work the same. Also I love your videos, much better than getting burned at a dealership.
Just finished complete front suspension kit from you guys...great value!! Lots of informative videos, unfortunately I lost my paper included with parts, and you online help was wrong, and it’s almost impossible to search you video archive (for me anyway). Your online videos made the sale! I hope you guys can work on a online catalogue for your videos
+Andrew B Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. We will pass along your feedback regarding the online video catalog! 1AAuto.com
Question about the nut joining the idler arm to the bracket part. When I tighten this nut down, The idler arm seems to be too tight and it won't swivel on the bracket part. Do I back the nut off so it can swivel, or will the nut be too loose? 7:50 on the video. Thanks.
Excellent videos. To the T👍
What type of grease? I am doing the complete front end suspension on 05 Tahoe thanks to your videos!👍
Why not take the skid shields out of the way? Makes things less complicated.
Wobble? 35 degree adapter? Angle socket?
It's it possible to change out the idler arm while on the ground or does the vehicle have to be jacked up?
They are charging me $560 to replace those two parts for my 2002 avalanche 1500,im going change it myself,thanks to you guys! I did my full suspension,tie rods,cv axle,wheel bearing hubs, and shocks,i bought those parts from you guys,,and i will definitely order that pitman arm and idler arm from uou guys after im finish watching the video!

Looks like idler arm an relay rod still had play?
would it be the same for a 2wd 2005 Chevy Tahoe?
I bought my idler arm, idler bracket, and pitman arm from you. There are no grease certs, did I get the wrong parts? 2005 Chevy suburban 1500
Our steering and suspension components come pre-greased, sealed for long life, and do not require the extra maintenance typically required by greasable versions. The kit you purchased is listed for your 2005 Suburban 1500 as long as it has a 4 Groove pitman arm. +Matthew Hoffmann
Does the vehicle need to be on Jack's for this?
if you have power steering i would. so you can turn the tires,
@@joeturtleneck2300 you don't want to turn the tires, if you do, you will need to get an alignment done.
The one thing I wanted from this video was the puller, but there was no link!
I find it unusual that you said the bushing wore out because someone didn't grease it regularly but here your TRQ parts rarely come with grease zerks.
+Make It Mike The original style is greasable with the zerk fitting. Our parts are pregreased which does not require maintenance like the OE style. Thanks for checking us out!
@@1AAuto being able to grease it is what makes them last longer. A sealed oil pan on an engine advertised as maintenance free and unable to change the oil is not going to be a long life engine.
Do you have a store in New England somewhere or are you only online? thx!!
Did you take off your front passenger tire? And can i use a 3 jaw puller? I dont have a 2 jaw.
+K g Thanks for watching! The passenger side tire was left on for this procedure, so you do not have to remove it. A 2-jaw puller will be easier to use based on what you are grappling to, but you could make a 3-jaw work! www.1aauto.com
@@1AAuto thank you! I learn from all your videos! I appreciate it!
How many idler arm and pitman arm on a hummer h2?
How can you tell if its a 3or4 groove idler arm?
Rob Penn that’s the pitman arm and taking it off lol I’m in the same boat
Do they come pre-greased from 1 a auto ?
+ThatVegas HighriseDude Thanks for checking us out! Yes they will. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
My bad didn't see pic on rt I apologize
GREAT VIDEO as usual
Do you have to get an alignment after this...
+Edgar Arriaga If the steering wheel is centered you should be okay.
1A Auto Parts thank you
Can I do it without removing bracket????? why change that.
+Robert Felp It is smart to replaced both since you will be working on that area of the vehicle already. 1aauto.com
Is this the same on a 2004 silverado?
+Paul Taylor Here's a link to them idler arms that we carry for a 2004 Silverado 1500. There are also auto repair videos associates with these parts. Hope this helps you out goo.gl/e7uB9A
If I don't have a puller or close enough to a hardware or auto parts store could I hammer it off? Like putting the bolt flush to the threads?
Yes but use a different bolt.
Castle nut torque spec?
+Tim Owen That should be 46 lb ft.
@@1AAuto thanks.
orientation?
Its also good advise in these Videos to state the Foot pounds of Tourque each nut and bolt Requires By Factory standards so as not to Create a Shattering point in the reassembly process of the linkages always... in house Factory Regs requires all of these parts to be assembled and Torqued to a Specifications For safety Regulations Of General Motors Corporation...

+A Guy Thanks for the feedback!
I had to thumb this video down. It’s the 1st one of yours that you didn’t include any of the torque specs… 👎
I use needle nose for the pins....who hired you?...lol(no worries just joking)
Your not wearing “safety gloves” lol
