[Chevelle-list] Draglink

[65ss.com]

Today I finally finished installing the suspension in my '65.  Two things bug me.   The drag link is VERY close to the frame.  I think there is maybe a 1/16 inch clearance.  Also, the grease zerts for the inner tie rod ends hit the frame when turning.  I looked on my old drag link, and someone had put small caps in the holes.  So I greased the zerts, then put the old caps on the new tie rods which solved the hitting issue.  Does anyone else have this tight of tolerances?  I did upgrade to '71 brakes, and spindles, but this should not have affected the drag link position.    Any comments appreciated.
