Mevotech Supreme Steering Drag Link P/N:MDS1000
Steer your heavy-duty Ford with confidence using the Mevotech Supreme Steering Drag Link MS40973, a direct-fit Ford F-350 Super Duty drag link that mounts at the pitman arm to link the steering gear to the steering linkage. It installs on the 2011-2016 Ford F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty and the 2010-2016 Ford F-550 Super Duty.
As the steering drag link, this component connects the pitman arm on the steering gear to the steering linkage, transmitting the driver's input to turn the front wheels. Worn drag link joints can show up as loose or wandering steering, excess play in the wheel, or a clunk when turning—if a failed drag link is the cause, this replaces it.
