Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the MOOG ES3527 Steering Drag Link, the at-pitman-arm link that connects the pitman arm into the steering system. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment. Built to help restore steering and handling on the listed trucks.
- Forged alloy steel: a forged alloy steel body built for durability under steering loads.
- Greaseable Gusher Bearing socket: the PROBLEM SOLVER Gusher Bearing uses a metal-to-metal design and lets fresh grease flow through the bearing surface to flush contaminants and reduce friction and wear.
- Pressed-in cover plate & premium boot: a patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness, while the premium boot keeps contaminants away.
- Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear, and heat-treated ball studs are built to match or exceed OE requirements for fatigue strength.
Precision tolerances are designed for straightforward installation and steering alignment. If a worn drag link is behind play or looseness in the steering, this replaces it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the MOOG ES3527 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
Where does this drag link mount?
It's the at-pitman-arm steering drag link, connecting into the steering system at the pitman arm on the listed Dodge Ram trucks.
Is the socket greaseable?
Yes. The Gusher Bearing socket is greaseable, letting fresh lubricant flow through the bearing surface to flush contaminants and reduce friction and wear.
What is it made of?
The drag link is made of forged alloy steel for durability, with heat-treated ball studs built to match or exceed OE requirements for fatigue strength.
What are signs my drag link may need replacing?
Loose, wandering, or imprecise steering and play in the linkage can indicate a worn drag link. Have the cause diagnosed, and if this link is worn, this part replaces it.
