This center drag link installs across the front steering system between the pitman arm and idler arm. It provides the central mounting points for the tie rods and transfers steering movement through the linkage to help turn the front wheels in the correct relationship.
A worn, bent, loose, damaged, incorrect, or missing center link can disrupt steering linkage movement and alter the intended geometry of the front steering system. Replacing it with this factory-correct, OE-spec component restores the original tie-rod layout and correct connection between the pitman and idler arms.
Restore the manual steering linkage in your 1965-1966 170 or 200 6-cylinder Mustang with this factory-correct OE-spec center drag link.
