RENTON, Wash., (May 20, 2021) – TRP is introducing new TRP All-Makes Drag Links to its growing product line. TRP Drag Links are precision engineered to provide a direct fit to keep the vehicle’s steering system in optimal condition.

TRP Drag Links are built with high-quality materials, including polyurethane grease boots with metal rings that prevent contaminants from entering the ends, which leads to premature failure. There is also a larger complete steel bearing, which extends life and creates optimal working load distribution between the sphere and bearing. TRP Drag Links are available for a wide range of applications with fixed and clamped ends.

“TRP products exceed customer expectations for quality and value and are backed by an industry-leading warranty and nationwide availability,” said Chris Scheel, senior director of marketing.
