No, you don't have an idler arm, that's typically part of an independent front suspension setup.

You don't give a lot to go on. Have you thoroughly checked the entire suspension for excessive play anywhere? Checked the U-bolts retaining the axle to spring perches? Broken spring leaf or loose shackle? Alignment?

Aftermarket hydraulic dampeners were popular in that era to control shimmey, how effective they really were is a subject for debate.
