Picture request

can someone take a picture of their radius arms with the tierod end going through it and connected to the spindle. I recently did a disk brake conversion on my 72 and im unable to bolt my steering linkage up because it looks like the tie rod holes on the spindles are higher than my radius arms so i dont know what to do. when i go to put the tierods back in they will slip into the spindles and i can get a bolt on it but the tie rod is draging across the inner top of the radius arms. did i install something wrong i cant figure this out for the life of me.

yes that is a perfect picture. My radius arms seem to be different than yours. My arms come straight out from the axle back. Yours are nice and rounded were the tie rods go through. One more question is your tie rod receiver on the spindle come out level with the ground? because mine is clocked up twards the floor boards like 15 degrees.

And i would love to post pictures but i have a ****ty no camera cell phone and no camera. My work has a camera ill grab it so i can show you all what my problem is

Have you figured it out yet Syntax? Did you swap a 76 front suspension into a 72 for the disc brake conversion?
