    Centre Drag Link Rod installation

    I got a local garage to install a drag link rod for me and the front end doesn't seem quite right afterwards (uneven braking, creaking and squealing). Is there anyway I can tell visually if it was installed back to front? I can post a photo here if that would help. Cheers.

    It would be very hard to put that in the wrong position. One side attaches to the steering box ( pitman arm ), other to idler. Ends go to tie rods. I’d check alignment. That has to be done. I swapped my own, so I have an idea of what it was like ( but mine is LHD ). Photos would be good

    Sorry I as away from my car for a few months. There is an "R" embossed on the right hand side of the rod. So I guess its in correctly.
