Default Re: Drag link ends

Is the spindle mounted correctly. It appears that the mounting flange on the stud is tilted to the left (outside) at the top thus putting the drag link connection too close to the brake actuator arm. Don’t go by me as I am a novice, but just got done trying to mount steering arms in the correct plane and drove myself crazy.

the spindle and steering arm stud are mounted correctly, but you can't see that in the angle of the photo. I was also concerned about how close the drag link is to the actuator arm. It is actually a little less than 1/4". Since there should be very little vertical flex evident at this point, I don't think I should worry.
