Hi All,
I am struggling to find a drag link and pitman arm for a factory 350 HT. I have seen a couple of suppliers selling new drag links and pitman arms to suit factory Holden powered V8s but no luck finding any for a factory 350 (No power steer) any help would be much appreciated.

There is no difference in the drag link or pitman arm between 6 & V8. AFAIK the same parts were used for all models (non-power steer) from HK up to mid-HG when the tie rod end changed size. In other words 6-cyl Kingswood items are the same as HT GTS350 ones. Dr Terry Edited by user Friday, 10 September 2021 2:50:46 PM(UTC)

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Hi Dr Terry,
Thanks for your help, it is strange that the ones for sale specify that they do not suit the 350. But I will now remove it and try to compare it to a new one.
Thanks again
Shahil

Shahil Could you send me a link to an advert which says that they don't suit the 350. Dr Terry |

The steering connecting rod ( "draglink" ) is the same for all non power steering applications from HK, through HT and early HG with the 11/16" rod ends. It changes in later HG with the 9/16" rod ends. The only way I could see anyone claiming a difference for 350 (apart from trying to jack the price up....) is if it is used in conjunction with some kind of aftermarket sump.
