was doin some research and it looks like the passenger side is the idler arm so could it be the idle arm or will the pitman arm still do this

Cool Both

Both pitman and idler could be worn. How may miles on the truck? If over 130,000 my bet would be both need to be replaced. For sure the idler.

You need to for sure get on this. It is not safe.
