Steering Link

What do I look up for what I believe is the drag link on the 1990 k5. This is the link that goes from pitman arm to C bracket on knuckle. I need the two rod ends and adjustment sleeve. The local auto-zone guys cant seem to look it up in there system.

I've always called them "drag link ends & sleeve" but I suppose many newer parts listing lump them under "tie rod end" listings,and you must specify you want the ones to connect the pitman arm to the steering knuckle..

I usually look my own parts up on their website and hand the numbers to the counter person,seeing nothing they look up for my truck seems to end up fitting for multiple reasons,not the least of which is the fact it is 35+ years old and many parts probably aren't original..

If I remember correctly the moog part numbers for the drag link ends were ES-2026R and ES-2027L and the sleeve was an ES-362S..

I looked up your 1990 K5 on Rockauto and they use those numbers for the drag link ends,some other brands use the same numbering system with slight variations , those numbers fit my 82 K2500 and just about every GM 4x4 with P/S from 1971 to 1991 when they switched body styles..

also dont forget 1987-1991 solid axle square body stuff went from c/k to r/v body name .

so your blazer could be a v10 more than likly .

or just look it up for a 1985 k10
