Bring your steering linkage back into adjustment with the SKP Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve / Steering Drag Link Adjusting Sleeve, part number SES2004S. It is cataloged for the right, inner position at the pitman arm and fits many vehicles, among them the 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500 and 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
An adjusting sleeve joins threaded steering linkage components. Turning it lengthens or shortens the linkage, which lets a technician set the steering geometry during an alignment. Over time a sleeve can corrode, seize or bend. Signs this part may need replacing include a sleeve that will no longer turn for adjustment and visible bending or damage. Loose steering and uneven tire wear can also have other causes, so inspect the whole steering linkage before replacing parts. If a worn or damaged sleeve is the problem, SES2004S replaces it.
Sold individually. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the quantity your vehicle uses. Have the wheel alignment checked and set after installation.
What does the SKP SES2004S adjusting sleeve do?
It joins threaded steering linkage components. Turning it lengthens or shortens the linkage so the steering geometry can be set during an alignment.
Where does SES2004S install?
It is cataloged for the right, inner position at the pitman arm on the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for your vehicle.
Why is this part listed under two names?
SKP catalogs SES2004S as both a steering tie rod end adjusting sleeve and a steering drag link adjusting sleeve, so it appears under both names.
What are signs an adjusting sleeve may need replacing?
A seized, corroded or bent sleeve can prevent proper adjustment. Loose steering or uneven tire wear can have other causes, so inspect the linkage first.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
Yes. Replacing an adjusting sleeve can change the linkage setting, so have the alignment checked and set after installation.
