Review on ACDelco Professional Steering Linkage Idler Arm - Model 45C1112 - Ultimate Quality and Performance by Christopher Bates

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Incorrect thread pitch of the nut. Otherwise the hard part.

This is my second purchase of this part. The first broke due to flattened threads and the nut fell off leaving the right side of my middle link unsupported. When the second arrived I found that the nut supplied had the wrong thread pitch to fit the tendon. Basically the first part failed because I didn't realize he had the wrong nut and essentially the inability to thread the nut all the way in allowed the center link to drive the nut until the threads failed. Others had this problem and this caught my attention.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Speed
