Identify this Part

Looking under the car and see the bushing completely worn/dried out. Is it the idler arm, or the pitmann arm? Located on the front right side.

Idler

Pitman arm attaches to the bottom of the steering gear (driver's side). Idler arm attaches to the rh side of the stubframe. Does need a new boot, though.

You can get a replacement boot if it is still ok.

I was wondering if I could just replace the boot. There is no damage to the arm itself that I can see.
