Drag link ball joint to knuckle

That tie rod is not seated properly. Either the knuckle is worn out and the taper isnt sitting right, or the tie rod end is the wrong one. Either way, it will wobble in the hole which will wear the knuckle and require replacement, as well as cause loose steering, tire wear, death wobble, etc.

I’ve inspected the knuckle it isn’t worn out and it is for sure the correct part I’ve confirmed it from multiple sources the tie rod end comes attached to the drag link, it’s the drag link to the knuckle so it is on a angle as it’s coming down from the pitman arm. My main concern is the angle on the boot and causing pre mature wear on the boot TRQ has a video of installing a new drag link on YouTube

I actually only torqued to 50ft lbs once I noticed it getting so squished.
