HELP! Spartan Drag Link Discontinued
2007 Fleetwood Revolution LE on a 2006 Spartan Chassis. Drag Link needs to be replaced and Spartan says it's been discontinued.
Per Spartan, the TRW number is L-24-VT-9015-A-11.
I cannot find any cross references to Automann, Dayton, etc. and a google search only returns similar part numbers, but the pictures look slightly off.
Spartan suggested I start calling junk yards, but what are the odds I actually find something usable?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

When I needed a new fuel tank sending unit for my Spartan they told me it was discontinued. While at the RV Supershow in Tampa I went to the Spartan trailer and discussed this with the service manager. He tracked one down for me - when they discontinue an item they sell or somehow get the parts to another company that sells discontinued parts. Call Spartan and ask to talk to the Service Mgr and ask him for help and if there might be one on that discontinued parts site (sorry I don't remember the guys name nor the website he sent me to). I can tell you the part was priced at gold pricing though. I think I paid $150 for the sending unit.

My Spartan chassis uses a Reyco-Granning ... might check with the actual manufacturer.
If Reyco:

I’ll try to research it a little more, but I think Reyco-Granning was used on the IFS chassis’, whereas my Spartan Liberty chassis has a solid front axle. But I’ll try calling RG to confirm. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is the drag link all one piece or do the tie rod ends thread into it?
The ends are readily available.
Can you get a picture of it?
Here's a thread:

Get the BOM Sheet from spartan for your chassis. Then use that to check the manufacturer web site. Plus Fleetpride could probably locate it since they do OTR tractor trailer parts. or a napa that does Heavy duty one of their distribution center /Parts/MAIN Counters.

Try calling Henderson's alignment. They custom make drag links.

I ordered all of my steering parts from here in 2019:
http://www.stengelbros.com/
Most, if not all, were special order from OEM. I bought most all of the wear items, ball joints, tie rods, drag link, pitman arm, etc. did not get control arms.

How many miles does it have to need a new drag link?

It's not a mileage thing.
If the boots were split and not greased, then quick, especially if driven on salt roads.

I don't recall ever seeing a solid drag link where the ends cannot be replaced.

All Ford F53 RV chassis have drag links with fixed ends.
