Default draglink on '34
Which end of the drag link attaches to the Pitman arm?
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks,

If the drag link has an adjustable tie rod end, the adjustable link goes to the spindle, if not, it makes no difference.

Drag links do not have adjustable ends. Tie rods have adjustable ends.
My question is which end of the drag link attaches to the Pitman arm. The ends of the Pitman arm are very different.
Thanks

The end with the longest space between the end to the hole for the ball goes on the spindle.

When in doubt, remember that the grease fittings point out, not down and you'll never install a '32-'34 drag link incorrectly.
