A steering idler arm holds the far end of the center link and pivots as the wheels turn, keeping the linkage moving in step with the steering gear.
Signs this part may need replacing include excess play in the steering wheel, wandering on the road, a clunk when turning, or uneven front tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so inspect the whole steering linkage before replacing parts.
