Center link bend

Post by rjkoop »

The center link has a subtle bend in it.

You can hopefully see in the picture that it bends up in the picture. Should this bend be towards the front of the car or towards the middle? Or maybe it's obvious when I try to install it?

Also the tie rod ends...

Is there a drivers side and a passenger side one? And do I have to worry about the orientation? ie. left-handed or right-handed thread.

On mine the bow is forward to so it does not strike the transmission bell housing. Mind you on with the transplanted diesel that is where the fit is tight.

Made sense to me too so that's the way I did it. Thanks.
