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.

Please. Pretty please. Will someone please take a pic of there 76 two wheel drive front disc spindles from the back so i can see how the tierod reciever sits in relation to the radius arms. Im having a hell of a time and ive been google picture searching to no avail for hours upon hours. This is a desperate mans plea for help.

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

These are pictures from my 68 2wd. The holes for the steering rods apper to be clocked towards the ground a degree or two.
