Drag Link

Quick question.
Which way does the drag link install on 73-87? Long end at steering arm and short end at pitman arm? Or other way around?

Thanks

Re: Drag Link

Its the CPP version. You just need to make sure you get the spine counts and sizes correct. Its like $120 bucks

Collapsible steering shaft

Re: Drag Link

depending on your vintage 73-87 parts wise . . . a jeep steering shaft is a 98% drop in for much cheeper and gets 2 u-joints and bye bye rag joint .
