Requesting Part terminology

Apologies if people see this as board cancer but i've spent an hour searching google for the names to no luck.

What is number 1 and 2 called?

note: this is not my pic, merely borrowing. Also, if someone does have a site that covers all the terminology for components With pictures, i'll bookmark it for future reference.




Thank you

Re: Requesting Part terminology

Yep... #1 is the K-member or also known as engine crossmember
#2 is the steering center link, also known as a drag link.

The arm that goes from center link to steering gear box is the pitman arm

The longer rods thats on each side of the center link are the tie rods... Closest to center link is inner tie rod end and closest to wheel is outer tie rod end

The arm that bolts to the frame of car and goes to the center link is the idler arm
