Dorman 580-112 Steering Drag Link
Dorman 580-112 is a steel steering drag link built as a direct replacement for the original equipment on specific vehicles. It is precision-engineered and tested for dependable steering linkage service, with a coated black finish and grease fittings for routine maintenance.
Key Features
- Steel construction for steering linkage strength
- Black coated finish for added surface protection
- Precision-engineered replacement for OE drag link applications
- End 1 and End 2 use 7/8-14 taper attachment sizes
- Includes grease fittings, dust boots, castle nuts, cotter pins, and mounting hardware
- Cross-references Delphi TL490 and interchange numbers 480645C91, DS979
Detailed Description
This steering drag link is designed for vehicles that use a tapered 7/8-14 connection at both ends and a two-stud mounting layout. The steel body measures 472 mm in length with a maximum diameter of 36.7 mm, and the coated finish helps protect the component in demanding undercar conditions. Dorman 580-112 is a practical OE-style steering drag link replacement for service work where steering linkage wear has affected alignment and road feel. It is a relevant choice for heavy-duty steering repair on select truck and utility applications, including Ford and International vehicle platforms where this style of drag link is specified.
This part cross-references Delphi TL490 for the same application.
What It Is Used For
- Correcting steering play caused by worn drag link joints
- Replacing a bent or damaged steering drag link
- Restoring steering response after joint or taper wear
- Addressing looseness in steering linkage on Ford and International applications
- Supporting proper front-end steering geometry during repair
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle’s steering linkage design, taper size, and overall length before installation. Use the included grease fittings and dust boots during assembly, and torque the castle nuts to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification before installing cotter pins. After replacement, inspect related steering and suspension components and perform a front-end alignment if required by the repair procedure.
Quality Assurance
Dorman manufactures this drag link as a tested replacement part for specific OE applications. The component is built to match the original equipment style used on select vehicles, with materials and dimensions chosen for service reliability.
