Hello,having problem installing new drag link. Any help why it will not install will be of major help. First an little back ground ,body is off frame ,no engine or tranny, new correct drag link for 47, am installing the correct way with both joints going in from top to bottom,putting joint in second hole from front of car on steering arm, and going under wish bone. If I, start from steering arm side of car pitman arm will not go on shaft,if starting from pitman arm side can not get the proper hight to clear the steering arm and drop in the hole. Thank you for any help on this. Mike

As you have the correct drag link (21A-3306-B), and the dip in the link is positioned toward the center of the car,I suspect the the problem is caused by the lack of weight on the front spring, reducing the clearance under the wishbone.

Yes,it's the correct link , will install engine when it's back from the machine shop,and go from there. Thank you for the reply. Mike
