Installing Drag Link today?
Just got my Drag Link for my 62 F350. I probably overpaid but the stock seem's to be running out.
Does anyone know the tourque specs on this. I am buying shop manual's but don't expect to get them for a while.
One end looks like 58-64 F100. Plug screw's in cylinder squeezing ball pin between two metal pieces w/spring to back.
Other end look's like Tie rod end w/1/2" bolt and rubber bushing.
Thank's

70 F100

Tom, the torque for the bolt end according to my '60 manual is 45 - 60 ft lbs. The ball socket end according to the manual is not too snug up the ball socket, the spring compensates for any wear. I hope this helps.
