What is the Drag Link all about?

The motion of the steering wheel must be translated into something usable by the tire wheels. In manual steering systems (mostly older ones, although a handful of automakers still use this setup), that’s accomplished by using a pitman arm attached to a drag link, which itself attaches to a steering arm. In other designs, it connects between the pitman arm and the tie-rod assembly.

The actual design and motion of the drag link can vary a great deal depending on the automaker, but they serve to translate movement from the steering wheel into movement for the tire wheels. Drag links are either solid or adjustable. If the drag link is worn out, you may have abnormal tire wear or an unsteady feeling in your steering.

Keep in mind:

The drag link itself does not wear out usually; rather, it’s the junction points between the drag link and the pitman arm or tie-rods that do.
Adjustable drag links can wear out over time, and will need adjustments as the vehicle ages.

How it's done:

The vehicle is raised and supported on jack stands
The defective drag link is removed from the vehicle steering
The new drag link is installed and torqued to specifications
The steering is turned left and right to make sure the steering operates normally
The vehicle is removed from jack stands and road tested for proper steering operation

Our recommendation:

Your steering and suspension system is incredibly complex, and while there is no specified lifespan for a drag link, these components can be damaged in accidents or through impact by debris. If you suspect you have a worn, bent drag link, or have similar symptoms, have one of our expert mechanics diagnose your drag link.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Drag Link?

Abnormal tire wear
Abnormal play in the steering wheel
Experiencing steering “wobble”

How important is this service?

Drag links are critical steering components. While damage or excessive wear won’t prevent your car from functioning completely, it can cause unsafe conditions, and the links eventually need to be replaced. Have it diagnosed by one of our expert mechanics who can give you a recommendation on the severity of your specific instance.

Ford E-350 Super Duty V8-5.4L - Car is not starting - Berkeley, California

Raul was Amazing! I purchased a van in Washington. Drove it all over camping down the coast; ran wonderful! It got towed in Berkeley (parking violation) and when I went to get it from the impound yard, it wouldn't start in park...only neutral. When I drove, it wouldn't got over 50mph and it kept jumping out of drive and into neutral. I thought it was seriously damaged after being towed. Raul said it just needed an adjustment. In no time he had it running perfectly for $112.00! So grateful!! There was the added benefit of him coming to our house and me getting to watch him as he worked on my vehicle. Raul was very personable, knowledgeable and I will definitely choose him with confidence the next time I need a mechanic! I will also recommend him to anyone who is searching for a good mechanic they can trust at a very fair price.
