There are two types of idler arms, the arm type and the bracket type. While both types essentially provide the same pivoting power, they are differentiated by how they are connected to your steering systems. Arm-type idler arms are the most standard types and are commonly used on most cars today. They consist of mounting points on both ends, and they are attached to your steering system's center link and main body. Bracket-type idler arms, on the hand, have a slight modification in their design.
