hey guys,
i don't know what it's called but i'm trying to find the adjustable rod that goes between the steering arm and the pitman arm.

i've got a 71 but i think this part can be used from later model chevy's as well.

anyone know where i can get one?

thanks in advance!

That's called a drag link and it should be available new at any parts store. It'll probably come in 3 pieces- 2 ball joints (1 left hand thread, 1 right) and the sleeve (turnbuckle?). The old ones were not adjustable but this one is. 1973 and up should fit. Hope this helps.

The originals were a non-adjustable one piece unit, and they were superceded by the three piece adjustable unit. The '73-'91 parts work great!
