What is a Drag link socket?

[Arun Rao]

And, because I know we all like to fill our heads with auto trivia, a
drag link is a steering (?) part on good ol' American Jeeps and other
4WD trucks.  How appropriate :-)

What's even more peculiar is that Audi should prescribe such a
non-Teutonic tool for this repair: I'm surprised our cars don't die
from allergic reaction!
