Want this question answered?
I just had the same problem with my 1994 Toyota pickup. Ended up being the idler and pitman arm. While you are at it, I would replace the ball joints, rotor and brakes since you'll have to take everything apart anyways. But once I changed those, 100% better!
No, there is a pitman arm on the steering box and two idler arms on the linkage.
According to my internet research, to change the pitman and idler arm on a Chevy truck, one must remove the two bolts holding the idler arm as well as the nut holding it to the truck. Then to remove the pitman arm, remove the nut and the drag link.

You need to replace your tie rods, pitman arm and idler arm. I had the same problem and it went away. Cost me about $120.00
The Pitman arm is attached to the power steering pump, which is connected to your steering shaft, which is the long rod looking thing to the right of the engine, the idler arm is to the left of the pitman arm attached to the fram, it basically looks like a strip of metal bolted to the fram that is connected to your shaft that is also connced to the pitman arm
The Chevrolet S 10 pickup truck idler arm can be removed by removing the idler arm retaining bolts. The idler arm has two retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new idler arm.
When you turn the wheel a gear in the steering gearbox turns a lever called a pitman arm. The pitman arm is connected to a central rod which is connected to another pivoting lever called the idler arm. The pitman arm connects (in the other direction) to a tie rod, which turns one wheel. The idler arm connects to the other tie rod which turns the other wheel. The pitman arm and idler arm always move parallel to each other, hence the name parallelogram steering. A look at an image of the system would probably help you to understand how it works.
is it a pintara
there is an "idler arm", its part of the steering and runs horizontal, as well as a pitman arm
