Final answer:

The Center link is not a component of a parallelogram-type steering linkage, which typically includes a Pitman arm, idler arm, and drag link.

Step-by-step explanation:

The component that is NOT a part of the parallelogram-type steering linkage is C) Center link.

The parallelogram-type steering linkage typically includes a Pitman arm, which is connected to the steering gear, an idler arm on the opposite side to support the linkage, and a drag link which connects the Pitman arm to the steering arm at the wheel.

The term 'center link' is often used interchangeably with 'drag link' in some configurations, but in a strict sense, a center link is part of a different type of steering system configuration, such as a rack and pinion.
