Karbay Adjustable Left/Right Steering Drag Link Set for Husqvarna Craftsman - Includes Pivot Links & Dust Caps

Karbay adjustable left/right steering drag link set replaces parts 436884, 436885 and 436887 to restore precise wheel alignment on compatible Husqvarna, Craftsman and Poulan Pro lawn tractors.

If your lawn tractor shows uneven tire wear, wandering steering, or sloppy toe-in/toe-out adjustment, this Karbay kit delivers the replacement drag links and pivot components needed to regain factory steering geometry. The kit includes left and right drag links, two pivot links and two sector gear dust caps designed to fit models that use part numbers 532436884, 532436885 and 532436887, among others. Each adjustable end lets you fine-tune wheel alignment without modifying the original chassis or steering arms.

How will these adjustable drag links improve steering performance?

Replacing worn or bent drag links with adjustable parts restores correct toe and tracking so the mower rolls straight and steering feels responsive. The adjustable ends allow small length changes to correct toe-in or toe-out, reducing uneven tire wear and pulling during operation.

• Includes both left (436884) and right (436885) adjustable drag links for balanced steering.
• Two pivot links (436887) replace worn joints that cause play in the steering linkage.
• Adjustable rod ends permit precise toe adjustment without new steering arms.
• Sector gear dust caps protect the gear from debris and extend service life.

• Replace dust caps if torn to prevent grit reaching the sector gear.
• Re-check wheel alignment after the first few hours of operation following installation.
