I remember getting the drag link from a guy at a swapmeet, i don't remember what year it is from, In my mind, all draglinks would fit all years.

I feel pretty confident i got the tie rods from Autozone. which if that were the case, I would have ordered 72 Chevy c20 tie rods.

I suppose, re reading my question, and now trying to get my thoughts more ordered.

my first question would be:
Is there an "upside down" or "backwards" that I accidentally put this drag link in?

also:
looking at LMC for tie rod ends they have 67-70, and 71-72. Could my problem be that my drag link and tie rod years aren't matched?


thank you so much for your time, really.

Yes, there is & it's more common than you think. If definitely impacts the steering feel & causes contact when steering.

The tie-rods should go between the main x-member & the center-link w/the castle nuts facing toward the front bumper. They will only seat properly in the center-link in one direction as they're tapered.
