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.

Toyota Venza L4-2.7L - Oil Change - San Antonio, Texas

I would have liked better communication from Manuel and the company overall. The need for the special filter wrench was not handled that well and would have liked Manuel to talk to us the next day after changing the oil as we were expecting him. He then called at the end of the day after the company had called us. The only other thing I noticed was Manuel getting in the car with grease/oil on his clothes and not using some kind of sheet/cloth to put over the seat. Apart from that he did a good job and turned up early.

Toyota Venza V6-3.5L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front, Rear) - San Francisco, California

I needed to have my brake pads replaced. A garage in the city quoted me $600; I received a quote from YourMechanic of less than half the cost. Grzegorz was very efficient and knowledgeable. He showed me how worn the pads were and what would have happened if I hadn't had them replaced when I did. He also did a thorough inspection at the end and made recommendations for my next service. A great experience overall!
