no you can't just use a gu drag link - well you can if you are happy for the gq end to bolt up so hard there is no movement whatsoever in the joint. gq has a bigger taper, gu is smaller. gq has a bigger thread on the tre if you are making one too. you need a gq to gu drag x2

i bolted the GQ tie rod into a GU box, it seemed to fit OK, its been on for 12 months and there doesent appear to any movement or wear there. however when i spoke to Snake racing 12 months ago they said they were getting some GU tie rod ends made up with the same size thread as the GQ rod ends. it might be worth giving them a call to see if these are available yet.
