A direct replacement extreme duty Drag Link assembly to replace your underperforming OE steering. Oversized drag link ends, connected by massive DOM tube, eliminates death wobble and tightens up steering under the most extreme conditions. Weak adjusting sleeves are replaced via drag link ends threading directly into the connecting rods, secured by jam nuts and Apex Chassis proprietary ninja lock-washers.
This will change the way your vehicle drives forever!
Fitment:
- Ford F250 Super Duty (2017-2024) 4WD (except wide track)
- Ford F350 Super Duty (2017-2024) 4WD (except wide track)
Fitment Notes:
- BDS TRACKBAR - Apex Chassis drag link is not compatible with the BDS Adjustable Trackbar as the adjuster sleeve on the BDS unit will contact the Apex drag link in operation.
- HIGH MOUNT STEERING STABILIZER - Must be mounted in OE position at taper hole in pitman arm side drag link end. Apex Chassis recommend OE style stabilizers from Fox (Part 985-24-001) and Carli (not through shaft stabilizers such as Fox ATS).
- NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WIDE TRACK
Housing:
- SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.
- CNC Machined Housing: Make Apex Chassis parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.
Ball Studs:
- SAE 4140 Hot Forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.
Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location Apex Chassis want it. - Rolled Threads: Made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware. This ain't no Ikea furniture!
- Step Threads: Allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued (installer choice).
Bearing Design:
- Rugged Metal to Metal Bearing
Boots:
- CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for undercar applications. Resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/gas/engine fluids and extreme heat or cold.
- Accordion Boot: Ideal for high-articulation components, more flexibility means longer life.
Finish:
- E-Coat Finish: Extremely durable. Double coated. Threads coated as well. Rugged look.
Hardware:
- Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strength.
- Castle Nut: Industry standard where high vibration loads occur.
Adjustable Rods:
- 1.75" DOM SAE 1020 Tube: Heavy walled steel tubing provides the tightest most robust steering on the market.
Lubrication:
- Pre Threaded Zerk Housing: If you have ever installed a MOOG Ball Joint without a pre-threaded zerk fitting you will understand what a simple but great feature this is. Another installer fav.
- Greaseable: Because it should be.
- Pre-Greased: Just in case you forget, Apex Chassis have you covered.
- Gull Winged Grease Grooves: Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
- Zerk Fittings: Included for every application.
Special Features:
- Ninja Washers ™: An APEX exclusive is Apex Chassis Ninja Washer which is a unique method of securing the lock nut to the tube, erasing the need for lightly built adjusting tubes with ugly pinch clamps. And who doesn't want a ninja on their front end.
- Greaseable, High Articulation Spherical Bushing: For extreme durability Apex Chassis passenger side tie rod is fitted with an oversized greaseable high articulation spherical bushing. This allows for maximum articulation and load disbursement, for better performance, and longer life.
