Steering Drag Link Assembly – OE-Grade Control for Tough 4x4 Use 🛞

This steering linkage part keeps your wheel direction true and your SUV tracking straight, on-road or off-road. Built to OE geometry for proper toe control, it connects the pitman arm to the steering arm/tie rod, translating steering wheel input into precise front axle movement.

Why you need it ✅

Without a healthy drag link, steering feel gets loose, the vehicle wanders, and braking stability suffers. A tight assembly maintains alignment, reduces tire wear, and improves safety at speed and on rough trails.

How it works ⚙️

A forged bar with ball-stud ends pivots smoothly as the pitman arm moves. Hardened studs, tapered seats, and dust boots hold grease and block dirt. Correct length and taper ensure exact fit with stock arms and knuckles.

What happens if it’s bad ❗

Clunks, play at the wheel, shimmy, uneven tires, and poor return-to-center. In severe wear, the joint can separate—loss of steering control is possible.

Install tips 🔧

Direct bolt-on. Torque to spec, use new cotter pins, then perform alignment. Inspect pitman/idler arms and tie rod ends together for a complete steering refresh.
