Idler arm

An idler arm is a pivoting support for a conventional parallelogram steering linkage on some cars and trucks.

[1] The idler arm supports the end of the center link on the passenger's side of the vehicle.

The idler arm bolts to the vehicle's frame or subframe.

Generally, an idler arm is attached between the opposite side of the center link from the Pitman arm and the vehicle's frame to hold the center link at the proper height.
