A key feature of the Roadsafe product range is development and range rationalisation. Roadsafe investigates ways of rationalising so only one component will cover both applications. Such is the case with the Drag Links for the Nissan Patrol. The Roadsafe Nissan Patrol Drag Links - DL700S and DL710S - have been designed based on a combination of the two different styles present for each application.

The DL700S replaces the two genuine drag links listed for the GQ Patrol, and the DL710S replaces the two genuine links listed for the GU Patrol. Since the only difference between the genuine models is the steering damper brackets - the team at Roadsafe designed the new components with two brackets on each item to allow for fitment for either application in the range. While at the drawing board, the links were also designed to be heavy-duty, with additional heavy-duty replaceable ends and adjustable to suit lifted vehicles. A worn ‘long rod' can cause a variety of steering related issues, including wandering, erratic steering and excessive tyre wear.

It is imperative that anything with a grease nipple is greased at regular service intervals.
