Chevy & GMC Vans

Well I found the problem - YIPPEE - it was a seized Idler Arm - so a trip down to the local partsource and I got a pair of life time warranty TRW - I know not Moog - but the best price I could find up here on Moogs was $168 each and Spicers for $175. Who cares they will replace them if they go bad.... thats all I need. Seriously took like 15 minutes to remove and install the new ones (per side). So test drive time tomorrow - too many beers to do it tonight....

Thanks for the ear everyone - I'll post some photo's I took when I find some time.

Glad to hear you found the problem. I had a hunch.....

Soo... where's the pic you were going to post?

I'm having the same issue too. I haven't check anything yet, but I did some searching on this forum and will do a few test this weekend.

I had photos and I did mean to post them but my computer crashed and I wiped it clean and did a clean build. So for some reason I did not save the photos - or I have misplaced them.... If I find them I will post - kinda makes me mad - I had the best of intentions...

Holy snap I found the photos - here they are

Hey, what brand of idler arm you got the life time warranty on? I looked at autozone and they have this duralast but with 2 year warranty. What is the brand of yours? Lifetime is good, I will replace myself. Thanks

The brand I got are "TRW" - they seem to be all over in Canada - probably becuase Canadian Tire and the Partsource (owned by Canadain Tire) supply them. Not sure if you'll find them - but if I was in the US I would have ordered a set from Rockauto and had them shipped - shipping to Canada + the delays at customs I couldn't wait that long.

Thanks for the reply, I search and partsamerica have it, they are not too far from me, I'll pick it up there.

How are they working for you so far?
