Center Link

["Jennifer Allyn" <gearhead.girl@xxxx>]

So I start on the pitman arm side to install a new center link on the
'62 300 today and didn't get very far.

Yes, it's self explanatory on how it installs, though I didn't get very
far.

Yes, it matches the center link I just pulled off the car, but I didn't
get very far.



Why?



The studs mount up into the pitman arm & idler arm, then you torque the
nut to 45 pounds.

I wasn't near that torque and the stud began spinning in the socket,
thus I was unable to torque it down, or tighten it for that matter. I
don't understand how the base of the stud fits into the pitman or idler
arm holes, though I know the old links studs did.



Any suggestions?



Thanks,

Matt
