I bought a new heavy duty 2006 1/2 ton pickup truck. It presently has fifty thousand six hundred miles on it. I just went to have the tires rotated and was told the idler arm on the steering rod was worn out. When I asked further questions the tire guy said this was real common in gm products. I went to my local dealer and was told it is ok for now but will have to be replaced in the next year or so. I am 60 years old and have owned new and used vehicles all my life and have never had a problem like this. If this idler arm on the steering should fail there would be no way to control the truck. I think someone should look into this problem. This vehicle has never been off road and has been maintained perfectly. Gm must be putting substandard idler arms on their steering tie rods for heavy duty pickup trucks. I have had many vehicles with over one hundred thousand miles and have never had a problem like this.
