OK. I re-position the u-bolt(passenger side) in the indentation on the centerlink. Took a test drive. No more popping. However, the measurement is only 9 10/16". Maybe I have the wrong bracket. It's not the original; I bought it off the internet. It measures almost 5" in length. If you could measure your bracket or the length from the left edge of the bracket to the center of the hole and report back for comparison; would be much appreciated. Anyhow; I'm happy the way it is. Thanks again.
