Loose or wandering steering, play at the wheel or clunks from the steering linkage can be signs of a worn drag link. Worn tie rod ends, ball joints, a loose pitman arm or a worn steering gear can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before buying. If the drag link is the cause, this one replaces it.
