I don't know if this is normal or perhaps a clue that the ball stud is worn and needs to be replaced. When I turn the wheels it generally stays in the same position. Aside from the grease that is needed in the joint, can anyone tell me if this is a normal angle? 54 third steering arm angle Thanks

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

The arm going front to back in the photo is called the drag link or the steering third arm? The Service Manual is a bit vague on the terminology of that part, but clearly mentions the steering third arm in the Front Suspension section.
