    I have been recently working on doing a calvalier rack swap. I have mounted the rack and fabricated my bracket to the original drag link. I measured alot before I tacked up my bracket to the drag link but I was wondering if someone would be willing to get me some measurements of their original drag link location before I fully weld it up.

    I think what I'm calling a drag link something different than what you call a drag link. Rack and pinion don't use a drag link. This is a drag link with a tie rod and idler arm still attached.

    Yes, that is what I’m talking about. There’s a method that some people have done to adapt a cavalier rack to the original drag link.

    here’s a picture of what someone has done that I am trying to copy.

    I am just trying to make sure I have it in as close to stock location as possible.
