Hey everyone. My Mustang is a V-8 car, but when I bought it, it had 6 cylinder tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm, and drag link. I have the correct parts now, but I am not sure I am putting them on the right way...the drag link seems to be sitting too high. Does anyone know where I can find a picture/drawing of the correct installation? Or if someone can send me a picture of their suspension, I'd appreciate it. V-8, manual steering.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi, here are a few images I took when installing mine. Hope these help...unfortunately these are the only images I have to offer right now since my car is currently in the shop. FYI, as you can see the original outer tie rods were replaced with a bumpsteer kit. My pitman and idler arms are also probably longer than yours as I went with the quick-steer kit.

What specifically makes you think it is too high? Is there interference with something?

Thanks for the replies and the pictures. I thought I had it wrong because I thought the tie rods went in from the back, not the front. Once I fiddled with it for a while, I saw that you really can't screw it up, because there's only one way it will work, what with the tapered bolts and full travel of the pitman arm when you turn the wheel. Thanks again.
