I have been trying to find a part for the front suspension on my 1985 k10. Its the part that you adjust to align the steering . I don't know what it is called. Can someone tell me. I feel a little dumb for having to ask this haha.
-
Is it the one on the tie rod or the drag link?
-
You have a short tie rod and a long tie rod in the front, then you have the connector that connects them with threads and clamp, the drag link is what is on top of the steering knuckle and connects to the steering box arm. If stock height, all can be bought at the local auto parts store.
If not one of these, can you post a pic of what you are talking about.

I cant post a pic right now. It spands the hole way across I think. I am going by memory though. I will look up pictures of what yall mentioned. thank you.
-
If it goes all the way across and is in front of the front axle, it should be made up of a short tie rod and a long tie rod, with the adjusting sleeve in the middle.

Cool now i got names haha. I appreciate the help everyone. If I can get these parts i wont have to steer slightly to the left all the time. The ones on there now are so rusted i couldnt even get them to budge with a 2 foot pipe wrench. thank you.
