Improving drag link ends

[Tom Coates]

I have seen a car with the springs which compress the cups at the end of the drag link replaced by a bolt and locknut which screw into a nut welded into the end of the drag link cap. There is a bit of spring in the drag linkage caused by the cup assembly compressing and so I guess that this could give a more positive action under some circumstances. I'm not sure whether this causes any issues in practice though, does this mod make any difference? - obviously assuming that the rest of the system is properly set up and the castor is correct etc...
