Firm, on-center steering starts with a solid drag link, and the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Drag Link 543-268 is a direct-fit Ram 2500 drag link cataloged for the front right outer position of the 1998-1999 Dodge Ram 2500, 3500 and 4000. A drag link transmits motion from the pitman arm to the steering linkage; worn or loose joints can show up as steering wander, excess play in the wheel, or a vague on-center feel — if a failed drag link is the cause, this unit replaces it. It's engineered and quality-tested to fit and perform like the original equipment drag link on the listed trucks.

  • Steel construction: built from sturdy steel with an e-coated finish for rust and corrosion resistance.
  • Threaded and tapered ends: End 1 is threaded (1 1/8 in) and End 2 is a taper with a 14 mm stud; overall length 1193 mm, maximum diameter 32 mm.
  • Hardware included: ships with a castle nut, cotter pin, and Zerk grease fitting for a straightforward install.
  • Standard replacement: precision-engineered to match the design and dimensions of the original component.
