Track rod
The steering link connects the steering gear to the wheels, ensuring smooth and accurate transfer of steering input. It plays a key role in directional stability and vehicle handling.
The steering link, also known as a drag link or steering rod, is a vital part of the steering system. It transfers motion from the steering gear to the wheels and helps maintain alignment and control — especially on heavy-duty vehicles under dynamic loads.
Steering links are built to withstand stress, impact, and long-term use. They come in fixed or adjustable types, often with integrated joints or custom shapes to suit the steering geometry of specific trucks or trailers.
Symptoms of a failing steering link include vague steering, vehicle drift, or uneven tire wear. Replacement is crucial to restore precision, responsiveness, and safety on the road.
