Rkgs Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I’m looking for a drag link for my dads 85 720 4x4, would anyone have any ideas on where I might be able to find one? So far all I’ve been able to find is for a 2wd Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 These parts are becoming harder and harder to find. Maybe it's time someone put together a custom kit from off the shelf parts. Tie rod ends are easy to source, then it would just need a threaded tie rod and either clamps or jam nuts. Worst case, a reamer may be needed to re-taper the steering arms to accept the new TREs. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 The 720 does not have a drag link as such. The pitman arm connects directly to the cross rod and the tie rods. Maybe you call it drag link but it's known as something else to me. Do you have a picture? '80s Toyota 4x4 trucks had drag links. Quote Link to comment
720_Jeff Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 I was assuming, he was talking about the Center Link. I took a look at Rockauto, Centric, Moog, Mevotech and none have part numbers for 4wd Might be a difficult part to locate Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Right, I'd call it a tie rod, not a drag link. Semantics... Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 What's wrong with the one you have? There is this used one on eBay... https://www.ebay.com/itm/125319067200?hash=item1d2d993640:g:-TAAAOSwWrdifbtY Quote Link to comment
