1998 e350 tie rod end question
First of all, hi everybody.
Got this van a couple of months ago and the steering on it is pretty loose. Long story short, I will be replacing the whole steering linkage and ball joints this week-end. I had a closer look today and I noticed that the right link is rubbing on a radiator hose. then i found a schematic on the net (which i will attach to the post) showing the tie rod ends pointing upwards (year 1996)... obviously I'm starting to wonder whether what I have on the van right now has been properly installed. Can someone please confirm which way the tie rod ends should go in???
here's the pic
Thank you very much.

Tierod ends
Been a long time since I changed any out on a vehicle, but from what I remember most had a taper on them so they only went in one way without special machining of parts. If you have the replacements already, take a look at them.
Good luck.
Good luck.
