I've always been surprised at the quality of parts from Detroit Axle. Their warranties are usually way better than others'.

Ok thanks guys! How do I make sure it’s not backward/upside down? Anyone got a picture of proper orientation for it?

I’ve seen extremely mixed reviews for Detroit Axle. I did look at one of their front end kits on Amazon. However, I got scared away. There was multiple people who had ball joints separate on them. That’s serious life or death stuff.I've always been surprised at the quality of parts from Detroit Axle. Their warranties are usually way better than others'.

Topside of the drawing shows installed wrong. Even with pictures it can be a head scratcher. The holes where the pitman arm and the other end (endlink?) are cone shaped so you can only install it in that respect one way.

Thank you very much! Should be pretty easy to not mess that up.
Cant I also go by the grease zerk position for the inner tie rods? Arent they supposed to be facing down?

They will still be down, the way I could envision it is I took an offset wrench and held it sideways covering one end with may hand. Take that wrench and swivel it 180 degrees left and right.

So just to make sure I'm making sense of this here. I drew out my own diagram. This diagram I drew is as if Im UNDER the truck.
The way I think about it, basically I want the curved parts on both sides(where the tie rods eventually connect) to be facing toward the REAR of the vehicle.
If I were to turn it 180 degrees the curved parts of the center link would be facing the FRONT of the truck, which would be the INCORRECT way.
Am I correct here?
