- Fits: 1997-2002 Chevrolet C7500 Kodiak and other vehicles
Loose or wandering steering, play at the steering wheel or clunking when you turn can mean a worn drag link. Before you replace it, rule out worn tie rod ends, a worn pitman arm and a loose steering gear, since each of them can also leave the steering feeling slack. The truck takes a single drag link.
