I wonder if the links were the same length for all years? It seems like you would have to have a bent part, or a wrong part, in order for it to be off like that. Have you asked Billy about it?

Another option besides the trilink would be to get the adjustable links from Billy. I'll be putting some on my car this week (after sitting on a shelf for two years).
