Drag link unlevel.

[rhamson]

I have installed a Borgeson quick ratio steering box in my 72 Challenger. I bought new Pitman and idler arms. My question is why does the drag link ( center link) look unlevel to the ground and k frame? Are there different length Pitman and Idler arms that could cause this?

Not being condescending any anyway, but have you checked with a level, the ground and center link? Eyes are good at detecting different angles, but can be deceived.

Maybe take a quick photo (front the front?) and post it. So we can see how severe this unevenness is.

I learned the hard way, It can be put on backwards. They really is only one way to install it. Try flipping it over and see if that helps. Just want to make sure there is clearance between the link and the oil pan.

they do make different size Pitman and idler arms longer ones to make it a guicker steering ratio you might have gotten one of them by mistake measure your old ones

Download the 70 Challenger factory service manual found over at MyMopar.com. Go over the direction of the centerlink and how all the steering parts connect from a factory standpoint. Then look over the Borgeson box and how it mounts. You may need some help from Borgeson on shimming the box.
