Steering question.

I always forget the name of the bar, but you guys will understand. The bar to steer the truck going from the pitman arm down is what I have a question about. The part that connects to the pitman arm, just the the end of the 3 piece bar, can you buy that seperate like at autozone or something? Or do you have to buy the entire bar setup. Ive got play in my wheel and its because of how much play is in the top piece connecting to the pitman arm.

That is your drag link... the upper portion is just a tie rod end. You can grab them at your local parts dealer usually. Some people swear up and down by MOOG, however I just go with the cheap ones because I beat my suspension up and they last just as long.

edit: here is a link to autozone, the one at the bottom of the page is what you are looking for.

Thats what im looking for. I have no clue why I can never remember the drag link name. Everytime I look at it or want to talk about it the name completely slips my mind. Thanks again.
