i have a 2000 chevy blazer 4wd Last time I wrote on here you guys really helped me out a lot that was for my brakes well i have that issue resolved but my mechanic says i need a new drag link and relay rod and tie rod ends now i can find tie rod ends at auto zone but the drag link and relay rod is not listed on there site. How do i find those parts? do i have to go to a junk yard or can i get them new some where and how much will they cost and is a better idea to find the tie rod ends at a junk yard or juts shell out the 100 bucks and by them new. The original problem was that my idler arm broke loose and kept making the car go to the right tightened it up but my mechanic still says i need those new parts any ideas suggestions or comments will be helpful as i keep researching the blazer front end and find it very confusing thanks

 

Are you talking about the idler arm and pitman arm? The drag link (center section of the steering linkage) is not a typically replaced item... It really does not wear out. It has tapered holes in it were it connects to the pitman arm, idler arm and the inner tie rod ends on either side.

 

Well you see that is what i thought at first to i know a little about cars anyway but he said that the draglink has been worn in the part that connects to the relay rod and is causing lost motion any ideas
