They look like they would fit:-

Not my work compiling this list but I think the original compiler is a member of this forum and when I remember who it is, I'll put a proper credit on here for him! He would also be grateful for confirmation that these items do in fact fit and for any new manufactures and part numbers to add to his excel spreadsheet.

So they worked well for tie rods. I'll need a custom solution for steering linkage

Are you just replacing the ends of the "drag" link - or - do you want to replace the whole thing?

I need to replace the ends of mine and was wondering if there was some difference involved. I already replaced the ends on the tie rods.

Thanks,

With the original drag link the ends cannot be replaced independently as they do not screw in but are crimped on - it is only the aftermarket drag links like those from a VW that have removable ends - these are basically the same as the Haflinger tie rod end on the steering rods.

If your drag link ends are removeable then your drag link has been replaced at some stage. If this is the case, the tie rod ends that you used on the steering rods should fit but it depends on what drag link you have.
