From the looks of it the dw link on the bottom is on backwards? anyone hear of such a problem. again its an 2005 7point3. i'll take a pic whenever i get a chance.

I have a 05 7.3 and thought it was something I did while racing. I called IH today and they are going to review a picture i sent and is going to ship out a new lower link.

Does it look like this?

i had this problem on mine. the original lower link would smash into the fin-like brace on the back of the seat tube.

They mailed me a new one immediately... 2 years ago when i bought the bike.

It looked different than the picture above.

I had read that there was a bad batch of links when I originally bought the bike. IH promptly replaced it with the correct one.

toby
