DAF Centre Rod Assembly Drag Link

A DAF Centre Rod Assembly Drag Link is an essential component of the steering system in DAF trucks and commercial vehicles. It serves as a crucial link between the steering gear box and the steering knuckle, enabling precise control and movement of the front wheels.

The drag link is designed to transmit the rotational motion from the steering gear box to the steering knuckle, allowing the driver to steer the vehicle smoothly and accurately. It consists of a sturdy steel rod with threaded ends and adjustable joints, ensuring proper alignment and reducing play in the steering system.

The centre rod assembly drag link is specifically engineered to withstand the demands of heavy-duty applications. It is built to endure constant stress, vibrations, and shocks experienced during regular driving and off-road conditions. The high-quality materials used in its construction, such as forged steel, ensure durability and reliability even under challenging operating environments.

The drag link assembly incorporates various components, including ball joints, tie rod ends, and sleeves, which contribute to its overall strength and flexibility. These components allow for smooth articulation of the drag link, accommodating the movement of the suspension and axle during steering manoeuvres.

Proper maintenance and periodic inspections of the DAF Centre Rod Assembly Drag Link are crucial to ensure optimal steering performance and safety. Regular lubrication, inspection for wear and tear, and timely replacement of worn-out components are essential to maintain the integrity and functionality of the drag link.

In conclusion, the DAF Centre Rod Assembly Drag Link is a vital component in the steering system of DAF trucks and commercial vehicles. It provides the necessary connection between the steering gear box and the steering knuckle, enabling precise steering control and ensuring safe and reliable operation of the vehicle.
