ROADSAFE TR2625HD Heavy Duty Drag Link
NOTE
One shim installed at the front and rear = approx. 5mm change at taper. For example, if there is a 20mm difference in the taper – 4 shims are required in the front and rear bolt positions.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
-
Remove wheels & bash plate if fitted.
-
Remove factory steering, drag link and tie rods.
-
Install HD Draglink into position and install steering box side into Pitman arm.
-
Tighten nut on Pitman arm ONLY (to identify ball stud height at idler).
-
If taper on idler arm side is “HIGH” of the idler arm (See figures A & B) shims are required on the BOTTOM front and rear steering box bolts. If the drag link hits the chassis, repeat above process to identify the correct taper position.
-
If taper on idler arm is “LOW” of the idler arm (See figure B) shims are required on the TOP front and rear steering box bolts. This may require swinging the idler arm out of the way and bringing the idler arm against the drag link to observe height difference.
POINTS OF INTEREST
- The tie rod ends are fixed and do not pivot. It is essential to shim these correctly at installation.
- There is some play in the steering system on these vehicles. For longevity of the product, it is imperative to identify the neutral position when shimming
- Installation must be completed by a mechanically competent person – if this guide is not followed at installation, warranty will be VOID – premature wear by incorrect installation is not a manufacturer’s defect.
