Pitman arm issue

[shempthebat]

I'm just starting on this project and noticed an alignment problem with the drag link. The pitman arm is contacting the torsion bar. Do I have a miss-matched combination of parts?

Of the top of my head. The tie rod ends from center to center are about 12". I see TA box. The original steering link did not have a equal length idler arm.

Do you know the what year K frame you have? E body only , the steering box mount is different on B body cars

Thanks for the help. Mine is #52. The driver's side inner tie rod is rubbing on the torsion bar, and the drag link is not parallel to the ground.

Look at the rear torsion member mount. There know to give away when there rusted.
