What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play in the front end
• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Uneven steering response caused by worn linkage support
• Noise or movement from a worn idler arm assembly
• Front steering wear on Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle has 16.5mm bracket bolt holes before ordering. Inspect related steering components, including the pitman arm, center link, and tie rod ends, during service so the repair addresses the full steering linkage condition. After installation, confirm steering alignment and road-test the vehicle to check for proper tracking and steering response.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional checks, and material analysis for aftermarket steering parts. This idler arm is tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and for 720 hours of salt spray exposure to evaluate durability in harsh operating conditions.
