pitman and idler arm

1991 4x4 toyota pickup IFS

Is there 2 of each in the front end or 1 of each? I need to replace them, so I was wondering what to buy!

There is one idler and one pitman arm.
No to be rude but have you looked at the underneath of your truck??

Yeah quite a bit honestly...I just don't know anything about IFS whatsoever. Used to solid axles! But thank you very much for the answer!

If buying idler, get the part number FA5040 idler arm branded by mcquay Norris, autozone, oreilly. It's stronger/thicker design than toyota version an all other stock replacements. Even Better is the fa5040+SDORI Brass bushings inside+idler brace. Ultimate idler is the total chaos idler. Good luck!
