Hey everyone. I own a 89 S-10 Blazer, and when i bought it, I noticed squite abit of play in the steering. Turns out a bushing is missing, and I can't find them anywhere. I've checked jcwhitney and I've googled for it, but no luck. Anyone know where I can purchase another one and about how much it will cost?

I have a question for you. When your driving or making turns does your steering wheel feel really loose? Like no tightness in it all.

i saw that before but had a question as i do not understand alot of what is there. about halfway out of the firewall is a rubber piece which wraps around and had grease in it. I found it was broken open and like grease coming out. Is that what is being called the intermediary shaft because after that rubber piece it continues onward.

I'm gonna guess that it's the intermediate shaft that needs replacing on mine. I never looked at it, my dad did, so he knows what it loks like, so when he gets home, I'll show him. Thanx BlazerLT :thumbsup:

Make sure you also grease the 10-11 grease fittings in the front end.

Show'd my dad that thread, and that's the problem. My "Rag Joint" is worn out, so I need a new intermediate shaft. Oh yay, another couple hundred of dollars out of my pocket......
