Two problems related to steering idler arm have been reported for the 2005 Chevrolet C/k 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The steering was causing us problems. We took the truck to our local auto repair shop and they informed us it is the idler arm. After researching this topic it seems this has been a problem reported before. It also occurred on my uncle's 2005 Chevrolet truck. However, despite these reports there has not been a recall. Please notify me regarding the complaint. Thanks, rhonda phillips craigandrhondaphillips@gmail. Com.
Steering: (1) engine vibration felt in steering and seat when brakes applied. Dealership said excessive and said it was the powersteering hose bringing in the engine vibration. No fix. Started in 2006 and continues. (2) intermediate idler arm causing knocking feel in steering wheel when going over the slightest of bumps. Manufacture knows of problem and only bandaids problem by greasing part. Once warranty is out, no free greasing/labor. Problem started within 1st year and continues. You have to take parts a part to apply grease to location. No more gm for me or my family of 7 children, and any grandchildren I am ever asked to CO-sign for.
