Lemforder drag link
Lemforder OE number 10713 01

A draglink in a car is a crucial component of the steering system. It connects the steering gearbox to the steering linkage and helps facilitate the movement of the front wheels. The draglink is responsible for transmitting the driver's steering inputs from the steering wheel to the pitman arm of the steering system. This allows the driver to control the direction of the vehicle's movement by turning the wheel. The draglink is designed to be robust and sturdy to handle the forces generated during steering, ensuring smooth and efficient steering operation.

Furthermore, the draglink plays a significant role in maintaining proper wheel alignment, which is essential for safe and stable driving. It is responsible for keeping the front wheels in synchronization, ensuring that they turn together and maintain a consistent steering angle. A well-functioning draglink ensures that the wheels align correctly, preventing issues such as uneven tire wear and pulling to one side. Regular inspection and maintenance of the draglink are crucial to guaranteeing optimal steering performance and overall vehicle safety.
