Hi guys, in process of reassembling and looking at my photos during disassembly, my labeling and pics don't match up. The draglink can be installed two ways (wrong way and right way), and I think I have it correct, but want to make sure.
One end of the draglink has more of a kink to it, and I assume that goes on the pitman side? And the gentler bend on the idler side?
Just wondering if someone can verify....Thanks in advance!!

If you put it in wrong It'll probably rub against the oil pan. Looking at it you'de think that it wouldn't be that much difference but with mine it rubbed against the oil pan until I rotated it 180.

hmmm, well my engine isn't installed yet - so won't be able to tell if it rubs oil pan yet.
just seems weird to me that the dust shields on the front rotors are labeled left and right (and you physically can't install those backwards), but yet spindles and draglink (which CAN be incorrectly installed) aren't labeled left or right.
