Ive got a 2001 silverado 53.l ext cab and lately ive been hearing clunking noise in my front end. After taking it to the shop I was told I need the Idler arms replaced. So I called up the dealership and they told me theres only one Idler arm. Do I have one or two of em under there? I thought I had an idea of what they were but maybe im wrong. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks!

 

only 1 idler arm. 2 arms total 1 idler and 1 pitman.

 

Ohhhhhh ok. Thanks a lot, I didnt think anyone would respond to that!

 

some times they refer to them both as idler arms i dont knwowhy but you might want to make sure witht the sop that they meant idler arms. idler arm will be attached to the right side fram rail and the pitman arm will be attached to the steering gear box.

 

but i imagine your clunking is the steering shaft
