1st Gen S10 2wd....Looking for Shorter Length Pitman/Idler Arms.....
I'm doing a LS swap on my 92 s10 so I had to cut and notch my frame for the F-Body Oil Pan to clear....
Regardless, when I pulled my 4.3l out, the pass side inner tie rod end was rubbing the bottom of the Oil Pan..............figured since the OEM Motor Mount were shot that was the issue....
Carry on and putt all new Moog steering parts on it (Outters, Inners, Sleeves, and new Center Link)
My Inner Tie Rods are so close to the Frame isn't not even funny.....Cant even turn right with out the Pass Side Inner catching on the frame where I notched it......
I am looking for either a different Center Link to bring the Center Link and Inner Tie Rod Ends closer to the front of the truck and away from the Frame Cross Member OR Shorter Pitman and Idler Arms than stock.......I believe the 2wd length on those is about 6.75 from center to center hole.......the 4wd stuff is totally different at least I know the Idler Arm is.....I never pulled a 4x4 s10 Pitman at the Parts Store yet
