Steering Center Link
An automotive steering center link is a component of a vehicle's steering system that connects the pitman arm to the idler arm. It is also known as a drag link or relay rod. The center link serves as a crucial link between the steering gear and the front hubs or spindles, helping to transmit the driver's input to the wheels. It is typically made of durable steel and has a ball joint at each end to allow for smooth movement. The center link plays an important role in maintaining proper steering alignment and handling, as it helps to keep the front wheels in sync with each other. When the driver turns the steering wheel, the steering gear turns the pitman arm, which in turn moves the center link, causing the front wheels to turn in the desired direction. A damaged or worn center link can cause steering instability, uneven tire wear, and poor handling. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the center link is regularly inspected and replaced if necessary to maintain safe and reliable steering performance.
When choosing a replacement steering centerlink, first confirm the year, make, and model of your vehicle. Next, from the remaining options, select the center link that matches your application and budget needs.
