Center Links???

[Clarmo]

I used all Moog parts on my car. I didn't notice a difference. I don't have the engine in the car yet. Is this how yours looks?

Yours looks high too.

Then the Moog link is different than the original.

That's the problem

On my T-type, I have my howe link adjusted down to where it is hard to install because of the skid horn on the crossmember. That is where it is best for steering geometry. If the spacing between the holes was wider, it could be higher... somebody should make this.. but they don't, so just above the skid horn is best.

When it hits the pan .... that's ka 'bump' steer.

The front of your oil pan looks deeper than mine (stock to the crate engine). I think I may be o.k. but thanks for bringing it up. I'll be looking at it. It stinks that the link is different and won't work for you. Are you going to try to source a Delco or GM link?

It is a deeper pan. I called the dealer to see if I could get a "GM" one and no luck. For now I've put the old one back on ( it's not loose ) and if I was going to get a replacement, I'd look for an adjustable one.

This isn't scientific but looking on to rockauto it seems like the moog is the only one that has an offset. All the other pics seem to have to bar centered with the bolt holes.

Maybe try a parts store and ask for another bar for comparison. I know car quest in town can get mevotech and maybe others too.

What is the distance between the tie rod stud holes on both? OE looks wider tie rod to tie rod.

I would think they are the same but wider is better. If the moog is narrower, that would be even another reason to ditch it.

I'll measure it next time I get it on the hoist.
