Remove the castle nuts from the drag link. If it doesn't drop right out, thread the castle nuts at the top of the threads, and tap them out with a hammer.

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.

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.

How can you tell if you need to replace a drag link?
Have someone rock the steering wheel back and forth with the weight of the vehicle still on the front wheels. Do not jack up the vehicle to perform this test. Look at the drag link joints, there should be NO play up and down or sideways in the joints. If you are not sure, a garage can diagnose this quickly at a low or no cost.
How do you put a steering stabilizer on a 1987 Jeep Wrangler?
Its a relatively straight forward procedure. If you have a factory installed damper you can clearly see the attachment points. One on the frame mount and another on the drag link. The only trouble you might encounter is getting the old on off. Its a press on stud at the steering linkage and often requires liberal use of penetrating oil, heating with a propane torch, and sometimes the valiant use of a 2.5 lb sledge.
