My drag link is so loose that it easily rotates back and forth. See video.

Tq specs are good, no play in the joints up and down.

When traveling on even moderate washboard roads the drag link rattles horribly bouncing up and down just like the video shows. There is no resistance moving it rotationally.

Thoughts?

If normal, is there any way to tighten it if only to avoid it banging around on bumpy roads. It sounds like ,y front end is falling apart.

For some reason I can’t view the video. If the rattling gets unbearable and you decide to switch it out, Steersmarts makes their drag links with an anti flop stud. I’ve been running their drag link for 5 years and no issues.
