The Drag Link Assembly with OEM reference numbers MK382602, MK-382602, and ML103872 is a verified direct-fit replacement for the MITSUBISHI Fuso Canter series of light- and medium-duty trucks. This steering drag link is specifically designed for Right-Hand Drive (RHD) models and is a critical component of the steering linkage system, connecting the pitman arm to the steering knuckle arm.
The drag link transmits steering input from the steering box to the front wheels, converting rotational movement into lateral movement that turns the wheels. A properly functioning drag link ensures precise steering response, stable vehicle tracking, and safe handling—particularly important for commercial trucks operating under heavy loads and demanding road conditions.
