yes i think it idler arm where it moving . when i push front of wheel it makes the tie rod bar move forward and backwards. the arm itself not moving on steering box but tie rods flex forward toward front and back of vehicle. just need to know if i have to replace the idle arm or joint on arm.

I would start with an idler arm, dont cheap out either... I'm on my fourth one, only because they all came in sets I got other parts from lol... this summer I'll be redoing my front end again, with all moog parts this time...

Loose idler arms are common on our Blazers. The preferred part to use is by Moog or Proforged. If you are super serious about off-roading, there is a bracket for purchase so that you can install a 1-ton chevy truck idler arm.

do you know the part number? Would be a good upgrade...

For the Moog or Proforged? I would not know those part-numbers but if I recall they are simply their versions of the standard part, just designed better. For the 1-ton idler arm upgrade, search for Outfitter Design (outfitterdesign.com). They have lots of cool stuff and advice.
