<VV> Suspension part name

[BBRT]

Sounds like a steering arm. It has a hole in the end where the tie rod bolts 
to? Neither the part that has two bolts that bolts to the spindle-back of 
the brake plate, nor the end where the tie rod goes should have any play at 
all. Normally the tie rod is the culprit, not the steering arm.
