Keep steering input traveling solidly from the steering gear to the front wheels with the Dorman - OE Solutions Drag Link, part number 540-978. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2001-2004 Ford F-250, 2000-2005 Ford Excursion and 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty. It is cataloged for the front right inner position. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The drag link connects the steering gear's output to the rest of the steering linkage, so each turn of the wheel carries through to the road wheels. When its ends wear, steering can feel loose or start to wander. Dorman precision-engineers and rigorously tests this replacement to serve in place of the original equipment on the listed applications.
- Direct replacement: designed to fit and perform like the original equipment drag link on the specified vehicles.
- Reliable fit: precision-engineered to the design and dimensions of the original components.
- Durable construction: built to strict standards using sturdy, safe materials.
- Rigorously tested: put through thorough quality control checks.
If a worn drag link is behind vague steering or excess play, this part replaces it. Diagnose the steering system first, since other components can cause the same symptoms, and have the alignment checked after installation.
