Steering Drag Link

This is the MOOG Center/Drag Link, part number DS1277, designed for your 1990-1991 Chevrolet C5500 Kodiak and a range of other C/K and C/T series trucks from the early to mid-90s. A drag link is a crucial part of your steering system, connecting the steering pitman arm to the steering knuckle, and ensuring that when you turn the wheel, your front wheels turn accordingly. When this part wears out, you might notice looseness in your steering or a general lack of responsiveness.

MOOG has a reputation for solving common chassis problems, and this drag link is built with that in mind. It features a full ball metal stud that allows for smooth, consistent movement in all directions, which translates to more precise steering feedback. The patented cover plate design helps maintain tighter tolerances compared to older designs, making the part more durable over time. This cover also works to protect the internal bearing surface from contaminants, and the powdered metal gusher bearing design allows grease to flow through, helping to keep things lubricated and extending the life of the component.

When you're replacing a steering component like this, it's always a good idea to inspect other related parts in the steering linkage for wear. This MOOG drag link is a well-built option that aims to restore that tight, responsive feel to your truck's steering.
