Product Details

The Beck/Arnley 101-3486 is a direct-replacement steering center rod (also called a center link or drag link) engineered to OE specifications for foreign nameplate vehicles. The center rod is a critical component of a parallelogram-style steering system, connecting the pitman arm to the idler arm and serving as the backbone from which the inner tie rod ends extend to each front wheel. A worn or damaged center rod causes excessive steering play, imprecise handling, and uneven tire wear.

Key Features:

  • Manufactured to match OE form, fit, and function for precise installation
  • Premium materials construction for long-lasting durability and reliable steering performance
  • Application-specific design ensures correct geometry and steering response
  • Sourced through Beck/Arnley's global network of quality-vetted suppliers
  • Direct bolt-on replacement — no modifications required

Beck/Arnley specializes exclusively in parts for foreign nameplate vehicles, and each component in their steering and suspension line is validated by product specialists to meet original equipment standards. The 101-3486 center rod restores factory steering feel and helps maintain proper front-end alignment geometry.

Found the items right away and it was a great price.

I recently ordered 2 Borla Dual Round Intercooled Tips from Autoplicity.com for one reason and reason only...their prices can not be beat! No where else online can anyone match them! <br>

Best prices, fast shipping, good service. Thank you!

Was looking online for the best price on a part and found that autoplicity had the lowest price and free shipping on it. I ordered it and it was shipped the next day along with tracking number. I will be ordering a few more parts from autoplicity. Order Number: 27769

I have placed orders with Autoplicity 3 times in the last 2 months, and have received excellent delivery, pricing and customer service in every instance. Thanks!
