pic request. Center steering link
 
I let a buddie disassemble my center steering link. Putting it back together it doesn't line up and I never really noticed how it came off. I would greatly appreciate if someone could snap a real quick picture of the correct way the steering center link is on the car. (this is the piece the inside tie rods bolt to and crosses under the oil pan)

IIRC the black dragon manual shows the tie rods incorrectly. The same thing happened to me when I was putting my center link back together. Find a picture that you absolutely know is correct, for the tie rod ends and make sure that you are putting yours in the same way. My guess would be that you either got the tie rod ends switched or you are putting them in backwards/upside down

If that doesn't help, I can take a pic tonight. I am pulling mine currently. Just need to pull the pitman arm.

yeah the FSM saved me, not the greatest pic, but its enough

I figured it out. I had it not only backwards but in the wrong location all together.



Anyone know why the nut keeps turning the tie rod bolt ?
