Review on 🔧 ACDelco Advantage 46C1121A Steering Linkage Idler Arm, Black: High Performance Steering Component for Enhanced Control by Jeff Sorensen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great replacement for a 2001 Silverado

Pittman armrest is fine. The clearance between the splined shaft where the Pittman arm attaches to the steering box is too small to allow the use of a standard Pittman arm tool. Not enough room for the threaded shank to protrude, so instead of cutting through the bolt shank that came with the puller, I took a 5/8" 18tpi x 1 3/4" bolt and used enough space for bolt head spacing and enough travel, to pull out the old Pittman lever. Try not to break the lever, tighten the screw and heat the splines with a flashlight, pay attention to the plastic dust cover inside the gear, and then hit it with a hammer, it should pop out. I smeared the splines with anti-seize paste, lighter next time.

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • No specs
