Re: My centerlink fits in better upside down ?

[Eric Sturgis <ericsturgis@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think I've not made my self clear...my bad.  If you are laying under your car the nuts are in your face for the center link, so the bend in the center link dips under the oil pan.  I know the photo for the shop manual looks confusing but it's really not.  Just remember the bend in the center link ONLY goes around the pan, not into it.  I think if you try to put it on the other way it would be right in the oil pan. 

 

Did I discribe it better?

Question.....when that center link is "upside down" is the dip in the center going down?  Like a smile or a frown.  It should be like a smile....so the oil pan has clearance.

Thanks for the pic. Both the studs in the centerlink and the holes in
the two arms are tapered. It's very odd though as if I install it
correctly,  the studs in the centerlink go against the taper in the
idler and steering arm.   They try to go in the small side hole and
out the larger side.  Totally oppositte of the taper.  Mechainically
it's just wrong.  It fits nicely and goes with the taper dropping in
from the top.  That's what I get for not taking a pic beforehand.
Maybe I got a wrong centerlink.
