Steering linkages
Steering linkages are crucial components in a vehicle’s steering system, transmitting motion from the steering wheel to the wheels, allowing for directional control. They consist of parts like tie rods, drag links, and idler arms, ensuring smooth and responsive steering. These linkages help maintain alignment and stability, contributing to vehicle safety and handling. Durability and precision are key, as steering linkages endure constant stress and wear.

Drag link assembly
Drag link is a crucial component of the steering system in heavy commercial vehicles because it allows us to travel safely by transmitting the rotational movement from the pitman to the axle of the wheel linearly.
Drag link connects the joint to the idler arm. It acts like a joint which transmits left or right motion of control arm backwards and forwards..

Tie rod assembly
Tie rod is used in the commercial vehicles, agricultural vehicles and special-purpose vehicles.
Tie rod transmits the forces transmitted by Drag link assembly to the axle located on the other side. It is used for transmitting the steering forces to the front wheels and for optimal roadholding. Tie rod provides a precise steering and secure driving. A centrally located part allows for optimal adjustment of both wheels.

Ball joint assembly
Ball joint assembly is fitted on both ends of tie rod. The tie rod ends are essential for maintaining proper alignment of the wheels and ensuring that the vehicle steers accurately and responsively.
They are designed to withstand the forces and vibrations experienced during steering and driving, while also allowing for some degree of flexibility and movement as the wheels articulate during turns or encounter bumps in the road.
Ball joint assembly enable adjustment of the distance between front axles as per the need of the user.
