HINO AK BUS FF GH SERIES STEERING DRAG LINK ROD ASSY (45440-3981 / 454403981)

Overview

The Hino AK Bus / FF Heavy-Duty Steering Drag Link Assembly (Draglink Assy) is a critical steering linkage component engineered specifically for Hino AK bus chassis and heavy commercial trucks (AK176, AK3H, AK1J, FF, GH Series / 9ST). Connecting the steering gear pitman arm directly to the steering knuckle arm, this complete drag link assembly transfers steering gear input into smooth, precise wheel direction changes. Built to withstand extreme torsional loads, heavy passenger transit loads, long-distance coach routes, and severe road vibrations, it eliminates loose steering free-play, prevents vehicle wandering, and restores stable highway tracking.

Engineered to heavy commercial fleet specifications for dependable workshop replacement and chassis maintenance.
