Default Twisted center link?

Hi,

So, halfway through a complete VBP front end rebuild, I find myself staring at the centerlink.
It's twisted at one end and I have no idea if it's supposed to look like this or not.

Did the General design it like this or has Bubba been airborne?



Thanx

/ Mr. Beam

I'm not 100% sure but I think mine looked like that also. Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will chime in but I think you are OK.

Hmm, I can't tell by looking at mine since its already back on the car, but all those connections are ball type joints, a little out of line shouldn't hurt as long as it isn't binding anywhere. I'll look again in the daylight.
