Thanks guys,

Kbisconti, The present configuration is a push type.
Morgan, the picture didn't come through. Please try again.
Thanks Badger. Sounds like I was right and I need to fabricate a bracket that will line up the push rod (proper part name) with the arm. Hopefully the housing wont conflict with the frame or body.
Phil, I might change manufacturers.
I can't believe the previous owner didn't have these problems. And I really can't believe the first mechanic I went to, who works on these cars all the time, didn't correct it when he had it on the lift.

I'll need to get myself a lift so I can fix these things myself.

S.S.
