Center link

Hey guys, as I tear down the truck I just got I find new and weird stuff. I know the tie rods are really loose on the front end and I'm replacing it all, but I noticed when I took pics from when I got it home that the centerlink is rubbing on the front crossmember. First off I'm not sure how close the centerlink rides to the crossmember, and second I'm not 100% sure this is the correct crossmember. I looked at a lot of pics and only found 1-2 that had the same one. Does this look right to you guys? I know the tie rods and bad but this is a little much I think... i could be wrong though.

Re: Center link

The centerlink does ride very close to the crossmember(less than finger width), but it shouldn't be touching. Are you sure it is not bent in any way?
