This steering drag link is cataloged for the at-pitman-arm position. It carries the pitman arm's movement to the rest of the steering linkage so your input at the steering wheel reaches the wheels. MOOG engineers test the design throughout development.
Precision tolerances are intended to make installation and steering alignment straightforward. As with any steering linkage job, have the alignment checked after installation.
