Extraordinary Performance and Dependability
Reliable drag links and tie rod ends are a must for vehicle ergonomics and safety. As they are critical parts of the vehicle’s steering, even minor deformation could cause damage including early tyre-wear due to wheel misalignment. These are critical safety components, on which driveability and control depend.
This is exactly why Sampa’s advanced parts are designed, built, and tested to excel in the most demanding and challenging conditions. Sampa Drag Links and Tie Rod Ends help hold front-end alignment of your vehicle and keep steering smooth. With extraordinary performance and dependability Sampa Drag Links and Tie Rod Ends hold alignment much longer than competitors, reducing stress on other steering components, increasing the vehicle’s time on the road and reducing maintenance-related downtime. A well functioning steering system also enhances fuel performance while significantly reducing tyre-wear.
