I want to make the two as closed to the same plane as possible.
The center of the tie rod end, take and tie some strings and see where your angles are now, adjust the real bar string until its parallel to the drag link string, and mark the hole.

I did the string check. Looking at them, they look pretty darm close to me, unless I'm not getting it. What do you think? Keep everything where it is at and look elseware?

Looks pretty close actually, make sure your strings are as close to the centers o the tie rod ends and bolts as possible.

They are as close as I can get them. I don't think removing the drag link and track bar will make a measurable difference. I'll look for problems else ware. Thanks for the help!!!!
