I had to have the idler arm and pitman arm replaced on my 89 K1500 a couple years ago. It needed it for a while but I put it off until I couldn't hardly keep it on the road in a crosswind. Over 200k and I don't know if it had been done before? The ball joint that I replaced had been done before because it was bolted and not riveted. I could have done the idler myself but you have to take the steering box loose and cant it to get the pitman off/on, so I paid the son of a neighbor who has a mobile repair business to do it right in my yard.
