Does the tie rod end go in from the bottom side? I'm not familiar with the E-bodies, but looking at the picture it would sure give a lot more clearance.

Edit: C-bodies have the shank of the tierod parallel to teh ground, so the rod end mounts to the back side of the centerlink, and that's what I'm familiar with. I just saw a pic of a B-body and it's rod ends come from the top like is shown in your picture. I dunno.
