Tie rod end center link question

[s5757s]

1964 Dodge Polara. Do the bends in the steering tie rod center link go up or down ?
I'm assuming the bends are there for clearance.

Thank You

The tie rods go through from the top with the studs pointing down. Nuts on the bottom. Swing your steering full left than right when assembled to check that it's in right not backwards. It will really go in only one way

The holes for the end studs are tapered. They only go one way.

Here's mine. I have a 7qt. oil pan so clearance is tight, but this is how the center link should look.
