Steer out slop and play with the Beck/Arnley Steering Idler Arm (P/N 101-4228), a front steering component that mounts to the frame opposite the pitman arm and supports the center link to help keep the tie rods and wheels properly aligned. It's an application-specific, direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1995 Toyota Pickup, the 1988-1995 Toyota 4Runner, and the 1993-1998 Toyota T100 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). A worn idler arm is a common cause of loose, wandering steering, excessive play, and uneven front-tire wear; if that describes your 4Runner or T100, this replaces it.
This is a front idler arm sold individually. Because the idler and pitman arm work together, inspect both when addressing steering play.
