The Idler Arm is part of the Steering Linkage, and is the counterpoint to the Steering Gear Arm.

Contents

Overview

The idler arm has replaceable #bushings. When these wear out it causes the infamous double-knock sound when going over bumps.

The Idler Arm bolts to the subframe rail on opposite side from the steering gearbox.
