The drag link carries the steering gear's motion from the pitman arm through the steering linkage, so wear here can show up in how the truck steers. Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra play in the steering wheel, and clunking when turning. If a worn drag link is the cause, this part replaces it. These symptoms can also come from other steering parts, so diagnose the system before replacing anything, and have the alignment checked afterward as the vehicle service information directs.
