Steering Idler Arms
Steering Idler Arms are components of a vehicle's steering system that support the steering linkage and help maintain proper alignment of the wheels. They are typically located on the passenger side of the vehicle and work in conjunction with the pitman arm to ensure smooth and responsive steering. The idler arm pivots as the steering wheel is turned, allowing the wheels to turn in the desired direction. Over time, idler arms can wear out and cause steering issues such as play in the steering wheel or uneven tire wear. Regular inspection and maintenance of steering idler arms is important to ensure safe and efficient operation of the vehicle.
