The right end of the drag link was internally threaded to accept an adjustable tie rod end. A slit at this end of the tube allowed the threaded portion to be “crushed” upon the threads when the drilled end hex head bolt (22228-S2) and slotted nut (34029-S2) were tightened. A plain steel cotter pin (72008-S) held the nut in place.

Shown in my attached photograph are two drag links with hardware. The right end of one rod is shown at top; the left end of another rod is shown at bottom.
