hi there,
do you mount the tie rods on above the spindle or under it?
i mounted them above and dropped my beam to much so that the tie rods scratched on my inner fender.
is it possible to mount them under the arm of the spindles?? then i have to drill the arm, right??? is that possible???
thanks.
thomas

use a ream and then get the later tierod ends with the bigger studs.
when you ream the first one you do it a bit at a time and test the fit. then you can mark the ream and do the next the exact same.
