The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Uni-Steer advice sought

The term "preferred" may or may not have been the correct term, but the Ford engineers ran it to the spindle for a reason. In all the info that I have seen the drag link should run parallel to the tie rod.. Using the tie rod method has the drag link running at an angle to the tie rod. Ol' Ron makes a point that the car steers harder when the link runs at an angle. I figure the Ford engineers spent a lot of time to design steering and suspension, so following what they have done is "preferred"
