The idler arm connects the steering box to the center link. The center link is what turns the hubs and allows a vehicle's tires to rotate. The idler arm controls the passenger side steering in a vehicle.he idler arm is a component of the steering system in a vehicle. Not all cars have steering systems. Most sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and trucks have steering systems, as do some passenger models.
While the counterpart to an idler arm, the pitman arm, attaches to the steering gear and transfers the motions of the actual steering wheel to the center link, tie rods, and ultimately the front wheels; the idler arm is a reflection of that.
