I am rebuilding a 1974 dodge challenger 360 with power steering. My problem is on the driver side the inner tie rod hits the torque rod. I have no problem on the rightside. It is not possible to turn the wheels to the left. I have all new pitman arm, tie rod ends, idler arm and spindles. Any help you be great.

If the pitman arm was installed properly, the only thing that can be put on incorrectly is the center link. It can go on 2 different ways but only one way is proper. What do you mean by torque rod ? Picture ?

Can you give us all of the information of what else is not stock? A picture would be the best. Did anything other than the steering linkage get replaced at the same time ?
