Well, I was incorrect on this issue after doing some research.

Here is the factory paperwork from the NOS GM 361098 drag link kit I used on my 1970 Blazer. When I bought it 3 years ago, the instruction sheet was missing, and I copied what was already there on the Blazer..



Note that it states the the steering rod must be assembled with long end forward.

Looks like I will be correcting that this afternoon...
