Review on ACDelco 46C1043A Advantage Idler Link by Mark Marcellus

2002 GMC Sonoma 4WD. Exact replacement. Supplied complete with 22mm castle nut, cotter pin and two fittings for greasing points. These fittings are not mounted and the hand is dry. To install them you will need a grease gun and an 8mm wrench. The reason I gave this linkage only 4 stars is because the included rubber boots started releasing more lube than I would have liked when I lubricated them BEFORE I installed it. I stressed before because it's just easier. In any case, don't put too much trust in the boots, but after a little lubrication and a few surgeries, they're smooth. Removed and replaced in 15 minutes. Ps- I used a 2 jaw puller to attach the center link. Removed immediately, used a castle nut to install a new one.
