- Excessive free movement caused by a deteriorated drag link
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify fitment by year, model, and front right inner steering position before installation. This drag link uses threaded attachment at one end and a taper connection at the other, so proper alignment and torque are important during service. Inspect adjacent steering components, including tie rod ends and related linkage parts, to avoid repeat repairs. A professional alignment is recommended after steering component replacement.
Quality Assurance
