Center link orientation
« on: August 12, 2013 - 07:15:35 PM »
I am confused. 

I installed my center link on my cuda the way the FSM shows (i think). The bend is towards the front on the car.

I have seen a few pics where the bend is towards the back of the car.

What is correct???

What issues are the if it is installed backwards?

This the correct orientation...Think of it as making the opening "bigger" for oil pan clearence...
