Drag Link Tube, 1928 - 40 Ford, various lengths
Connects the Pitman arm to the steering arm, for 1928-40 Fords with a solid axle.
Please note, we have moved from direct threading the tube to welding CNC machined inserts into the tube. The chamfered inserts slip tightly into the tube 1" deep and are tig welded.
Connects the spindle steering arms on early Ford front suspensions.
7/8″ x .156 heavy wall seamless tubing, with our tie rod end tubing adapters welded in. Tie rod ends and jam nuts not included. Minimum and maximum center-to-center dimensions are approximate and assume jam nuts are used on both tie rod ends. Application is not limited to the Ford references shown, and might not be correct for all applications. e.g. when steering arms are modified, etc.
If you'd like to use your own tube, we have the threaded inserts available separately. See related items.
