An alternate steering mechanism is a rack and pinion, a three-bar linkage that eliminates the drag link by directly moving a centre link. The drag link connects the pitman arm to the steering arm, or in some applications it connects to the tie rod assembly.

Is a drag link same as tie rod?
The drag link connects the pitman arm to the steering arm, or in some applications it connects to the tie rod assembly. Unlike a centre link, the drag link does not connect to an idler arm and has no inner tie rod ends attached to it. Drag links can be a solid one-piece design or an adjustable design.
What is a drag link on Vehicle?
A drag link is a suspension linkage component that is found in vehicles equipped with steering gear type steering systems. Drag links are most commonly found on larger vehicles and vans and serve as the component that links the vehicle's steering gear box to the tie rod ends.
What does drag link connect to?
The drag link connects the pitman arm to the steering arm, or in some applications it connects to the tie rod assembly. Unlike a centre link, the drag link does not connect to an idler arm and has no inner tie rod ends attached to it.
What transfers movement from the steering box to the centre link?
The pitman arm attaches to the steering gear output shaft which is also commonly called the pitman shaft. The pitman arm attaches to the centre link and is moved by turning the steering wheel. The centre link transfers the movement from the pitman arm and pitman shaft to the idler arm on the passenger side.What's a steering rack?
The steering rack is composed of a rack enclosed with a steering pinion. It is connected to the steering wheel through the set of shafts and U-joints. A power steering rack utilizes an engine-driven pump to supply high-pressure hydraulic fluid to the steering rack when the wheel is turned.
