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.

Volvo V70 L5-2.4L Turbo - Oil Change - San Jose, California
Whitney is a real professional MECHANIC. He arrived on time for the job, good communication and he's got all the experience and attitude for a professional mechanic. He completes his job within the time frame, he explains everything he did to my car and not only that he gave me tips and advice on how to look after my car. After his job he did a full inspection on the engine, tyres, brakes, lights, wipers etc. and also he can answer all my questions. He is a trustworthy person and he is a real friend. I will recommend Whitney Ortiz and YOURMECHANIC to all my relatives and friends.

Volvo V70 L5-2.4L Turbo - Car is not starting - Vallejo, California
I am a middle aged woman who has been taken advantage of by many repair facilities and treated badly. I dreaded the thought of having to get my car repaired, so thought I would try Your Mechanic after reading the reviews. Gary was the mechanic who came to my home. He was very friendly, explained what was needed thoroughly and gave me the option of getting relay & myself & told me how to install. I HIGHLY recommend and will use again as I now know they perform car maintenance as well.

Volvo V70 L5-2.4L Turbo - Car is hard to shift - Las Vegas, Nevada
He was awesome at the inspection. I have a 2001 Volvo and most mechanics shy away from Volvos I'd they are not dealer mechanics. Richard eased all my worries re: what needed to be done and the price. Were have one more job to do, then Zion and Valley of the fire here we come! Thank you Richard! Thank you your mechanic!
