Tie Rod Ends Hitting Torrsion Bars????

I didn't realize there were different center links for later years. There is definately something up or a mix mash of parts from previous owner. After reading the whole link posted, I'd start at the k member and work back from there. Check the sleeve in the K member and the torsion mount at the rear. I had a problem with mine that the pivot shaft for the arm was messed up due to the PO hitting a curb. It also split the lower control arm on that side causing the sleeve in the arm to be out of whack. This is not the case for you but just to show how one thing can make it all caddy wompas. It's probably an easy find without all the front end components in there hiding things. May not be such an easy fix however, but it can all be fixed.
