I have a 98 Blazer 4WD. Steering is very loose. Found out I need a new center link. Anyone know where I can find one? Called all the local parts houses and even the GM dealer. The part for the 4WD is not available anymore, discontinued. Plenty for RWD! Cant' even find one on the web. The dealer did not give me the part number. He couldn't call it up.


Thanks!

 

Moog Center Link DS1047: Advance Auto Parts

 

The center link for 4WD is available at the dealer only. It is a "crash" item. It is not a "normal wear" item. It either gets bent in a crash, or someone didn't properly torque the idler arm, pitman arm, or the inner tie rod ends. If they are insufficiently torqued, it will hog out the mounting holes. Give these #'s to your GM dealer and tell them you found them online They are NOT discontinued, and they are not cheap.


With high/wider package: GM # 26038989
Without high/wider package: GM # 26038980
With smooth ride package: GM # 26055302

 

Thanks for the responses.


The Moog part number is for a RWD, not 4WD.


Captain Thanks for the part numbers. I took them to my local GM dealer and he cannot get them. Even as crash items. Discontinued. I did find some places on the web and in stock. Placing the order now


thanks again for the help!

Plug those part numbers into a Google search, plenty of dealers have them. Your dealer is not doing you any favors

 

Well back to square one. A number of online GMparts places cannot get the centerlink either. Discontinued. I can't imagine there isn't even a replacement part available. I tried Summit and such and nothing. Next step to a salvage yard.

 

Have you tried this number? GM # 26055302 I found several websites that "say" they have it.

 

Yes as a matter of fact based upon the VIN that is the part number I need. I have tried ROck Auto, Summit, various GM parts online sites. Nothing all discontinued or nothing available. Not even a replacement. Plenty for a 2WD but nothing for 4WD.

Wonder what the difference is between the 3 part numbers you gave me earlier. Each one is for a different ride option and mine is smooth ride.

 

Higher/wider is for ZR2. It has a wider front track so the center link has to be longer.
