This is indeed the drag link.

It can be identified from the track rod by the fact that it has a bracket for mounting the steering damper.

For referance, the drag link is fitted in front of the axle, while the track rod is behind the axle.

Ja, you're right Peter. I know them as steering rod and track rod. Drag link I don't know.
