An adjusting sleeve joins threaded steering linkage ends. A technician turns it to set the link's length during a wheel alignment. This steering drag link adjusting sleeve is cataloged under both the drag link and tie rod end adjusting sleeve names. It may need replacing if you see any of these signs:
- A sleeve that is seized and won't turn during alignment
- Visible bending or heavy corrosion
- An off-center steering wheel
- Uneven tire wear
If a worn or damaged sleeve is the cause, replacing it helps restore vehicle handling.
