Tie Rod Ends Hitting Torrsion Bars????

I wish I knew why there are so many issues with the steering link. I've seen "hits oil pan" , "hits header" , " cant keep a good bushing in idler arm" , and more.
I don't think there is a huge difference in the 2 ends of the center link. A small difference might cause/cure your problem.
I can only wonder if a combination of non stock parts causes some of these problems. Forum members state "use C-body tie rod ends on A-body". Aftermarket offers fast ratio pitman and idler arms. Can both work together ? Who knows...
My puzzlement doesn't answer your question. I'm subscribed and wishing you a good answer though.
