Drag link

If you have a car, chances are that driving uses the steering wheel to go left or right from where we started. But how in the world does this turn your car and change its direction? In this scenario, a part that is referred to as the drag link takes its place. Let's see what’s this Zhongming drag link tie rod really is and how you use it to steer your car.

 

The drag link is a large, strong metal bar that links the steering system to your vehicles front wheels. The drag link will move the wheels to the left if you turn your steering wheel for going towards the opposite restricting force. When you turn the steering wheel right, the drag link moves to take them over with all. Then you can control your vehicle better and keep it on the road. If you were to remove the drag link, controlling your car would become extremely difficult.


Troubleshooting Common Issues with Drag Links and How to Fix Them

Bad drag link: Any play in your drag link can allow the steering wheel to feel wobbly or have excessive movement. This in turn can be very dangerous as it’s harder to maneuver your car. Check the bolts that hold up your drag link if you feel this. This is when you would have to tighten them all down, so that nothing comes undone while the car may be in motion.

 

Your drag link may get bent, which causes the wheels to shake or makes it feel as if your steering is off-center. That way your car won't necessarily go where you point it, straight. If your car shakes or you experience unusual handling, it is a good idea to have the vehicle checked by a trained mechanic. If it's bent they'll check the drag link and probably recommend replacing that as well.
