With the pitman arm and idler arm in place, we installed a new stock replacement drag link from Moog (PN DS740). A-bodies came equipped with both 13/16- and 7/8-inch drag links from the factory, and Project Olds had the smaller of the two. While the bigger 7/8-inch unit can also be installed, the switch requires ordering up tie rods, an idler arm, and a pitman arm specific to the larger drag link. The tie rods were then bolted to the DSE steering knuckles, which feature two mounting points to help dial out bumpsteer. Ideally, the tie rods and lower control arm should be as close to parallel as possible, which minimizes the disparity in arcs in which both links travel. The lower of the two mounting points on the DSE knuckles proved to accomplish this most effectively. View Related Article
