The Steering System's Assembly: Drag Link and Tie Rod End

Within the steering system, the drag link and tie rod end together form a critical component assembly. The drag link's primary role is to convert the kinetic forces sent to the steering gear into the necessary kinetic forces required to manipulate the tie rod end, subsequently steering the vehicle's tires.

The Tie rod end, positioned on the drag links and tie rods, serves as the vital link for transmitting force to connecting components while accommodating movements in two dimensions.

As the drag link's function involves transmitting force from the pitman arm to the steering knuckle, it experiences both tensile and compressive forces. Consequently, BAGEN's drag link technology and design are meticulously crafted to adhere to the strictest tolerances and ensure unparalleled reliability.
