Steering Link Help

Just installed my steering link, but I'm having some memory loss...

Does the center link angle towards the back of the car or the front? I'm assuming towards the back, to accommodate the oil pan.

See the pic below for how it's installed now... angled towards the rear of the car. The tie rods and idler arm are mounted into the large end of the tapered hole.

Thanks in advance for the help.
