I was told during an alignment that my idol arm was loose. Will this cause a pull to the right and what do I have to do to fix the problem.

It's the idler arm, and it may cause a pull, usually it will cause wander especially on the highway.
It bolts to the frame on passenger side, and attaches to the drag link. Fairly simple to replace!
