These were loose long before I was driving the van in the snow.
The pitman arm is the arm that connects the steering gearbox to the tie rod linkage assembly, and transfers the power of the gearbox to the tie rod assembly in order to steer the vehicle. The idler arm connects to a link that is connected to the frame, and this assembly acts a support and guide for the tie rod assembly. Both being in good condition are essential to the safety of your vehicle. Symptoms of bad or loose pitman and/or idler arms include the vehicle pulling or wandering in either direction, loose / sloppy steering, poor handling, uneven tire wear , or total steering failure.
If your tires are worn unevenly, and you replace the worn components, then get an alignment, you might still experience pulling. Uneven tread causes the tire to want to roll in or outward, thus causing the pulling effect.
