Went to an alignment shop today to try to diagnose steering looseness. Recently replaced the idler arm which was worn and sloppy. This helped the problem.

Shop said alignment was pointless due to worn parts that need replacing. So, with front end elevated off the tires, they told me I need the following:

Both lower ball joints, left steering pivot (counterpart of the idler arm), all lower A-arm bushings, right side C/V boot.

Trying to look up parts in the Interchage Index, I don't find many of these terms.

Please advise what these parts are in "GMC Speak" so that I can research parts availability and prices.

Thanks for any guidance and any suggestions of other work that should be done while into this project.
