Some of the new models have threads and lock nuts on each end. Loosen the lock nut on each end. Take a ruler (the folding wooden ones like carpenters use is best) and measure the distance between the front tires on the front side of the tires. Now measure the distance between the front tires on the back side. The back side should be about 1/4 inch wider. The drag link is made so when it is turned it will adjust both sides at same time. Recheck measurement. If OK, tighten lock nuts.

How do you adjust steering free play on a 1994 mack truck?
The steering free play doesn't adjust.. if you have free play in your steering, you have a component worn out somewhere, and it needs to be replaced. Check the u-bolts on the steering column, check the drag link, tie rods, pitman arm, and spring pins for slack, check the steering pump and gearbox, determine which is the faulty component, and repair or replace it.

What does a drag link do?
A drag link converts rotary motion from a crank to a second crank or link in a different plane or axis.The term is commonly used in automotive technology for the link in a four bar steering linkage that converts rotation of a steering arm to a center link and eventually to tie rod links which pivot the wheels to be steered. A drag link is used when the steering arm operates in a plane above the other links. The drag link converts the sweeping arc of the steering arm to linear motion in the plane of the other steering links.An alternate steering mechanism is a rack and pinion, a three bar linkage that eliminates the drag link by directly moving the center link.The length of a drag link can affect the geometry and thus the steering ratio. Severe wear of this part can affect the wheel alignment such as Toe-in or Toe-out settings. This can drastically affect the handling and stability of the vehicle at speed.
