So I've learned a few things since I started this thread. I pulled the front suspension out of the Duster and got it mounted up on a fixture so I could work on it. I swapped in a '73 style center link and noticed that it is longer than the '72 center link. So that moves the inner tie rod points out towards the wheels which will reduce bump steer. So the '73 style center link should be better for bump steer than the '72. I don't think I knew this before.

The '72 tie rods do bolt up to the '73 center link but there is a lot of angle on the tie rod ends since the inner taper points down and the outer taper points up.

I'm going to put the suspension back in the car and see how it looks. If the tie rod angle is too severe then I either need to modify the lower ball joints so the taper points down, or just swap over to the '73 knuckles.
