    Q:
    What does the inspection process for the steering linkage, including the Center Link, involve for the 2003 Chevrolet Blazer? Posted by Yuriy J.
    A:
    The inspection process for the steering linkage involves checking the components that connect the steering gear to the front wheels, such as the Pitman arm, idler arm, relay rod, tie-rods, and steering damper. The wheels should be set in the straight-ahead position and the steering wheel locked before raising one side of the vehicle. A dial indicator is used to measure any play in the steering system, which should be less than 0.108 inches. The idler arm should also be checked for excessive play, with a measurement greater than 1/4-inch indicating the need for replacement. Additionally, torn ball stud boots, frozen joints, and bent or damaged linkage components should be inspected. You can Select Your Vehicle to see complete installation and repair tips.
