Hi Phil,
Working on sub-assemblies is a good approach if your timescale is drawn out. Far less opportunity to loose things or forget how it all goes together!
The drag link should indeed be straight.
Replacement steering arms are available (I think in two different patterns) and you should change it anyway - most originals are fractured on the inside of the curve and will eventually break. Both my cars have new ones fitted even though the originals "looked" ok.
My guess is all these items were damaged in a minor accident.
Anyone any thoughts on the drop arm? I'd be inclined to change it.
Peter.
