steering arm

Wheel-turning pivot link

A steering arm is a lever attached to a vehicle's steering mechanism that transmits motion from the steering gear to the wheel assembly.

When you turn the steering wheel, the steering arm pivots to push or pull the tie rod, which angles the front wheels.

The term applies to automobiles, tractors, and other steered vehicles.
