Keep the steering tight and responsive on your full-size van with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Drag Link MDS1427. This front steering drag link transmits motion from the pitman arm through the steering linkage to help turn the wheels, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express 1500, 2500 and 3500; the 1996 Chevrolet G30; the 1996 GMC G3500; and the 1996-2002 GMC Savana 1500, 2500 and 3500.

Worn drag-link joints can show up as loose or wandering steering, play in the wheel, or a clunk when turning. If a failed drag link is the cause, this Mevotech Supreme unit replaces it and restores a solid connection through the steering linkage. Have the steering components inspected to confirm the drag link is the source before replacing.
