Chevrolet S10 owners have reported 2 problems related to steering idler arm (under the steering category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In may of 2004 my idler arm was loose, and I had it replaced. I started to notice excessive and uneven wear on my front tires by October 2004. Around thanksgiving I was driving up my street, and lost control of my truck as I drove around a curve and almost hit oncoming traffic. I did not crash, but I had the lower ball joints and the idler arm replaced again, and then new tires put on the truck. Over the past few months I have noticed a popping sound in the front end, and uneven wear on the front tires again. The steering is loose, and around curves it seems to slip, and I feel as though I am about to loose control.

Ildler arm was not properly secured at factory. Was attached to wheel, but not attached to axle--was just laying on axle. I blame the gm factory--quality control-- not the dealer.
