I found that the stock Rubicon drag link measures approximately 41.25” center to center. Measure your and compare to see if it’s too short or too long.
That is the straight line between the drag mounting points for me.

Time for penetrating lube and a channel lock… :like:
Your image and tail call out really helped. A bigger set of pliers combined with some PB I sprayed on earlier and it broke free in the other direction. Tightened it up 1 turn and the wheel is straight. Thank you!

Just a casual observation but it looks to me like the adjuster collar is threaded too deep on the ball joint end causing it to run out of threads a bit early, hence why OP is out of adjustment.

To correct, he’ll need to disconnect the end, unscrew the collar some, reattach and then tune the adjustment. It doesn’t look off by much, maybe a quarter of an inch.
