Everything seemed to be going fine until I went to put the tie rods and center-link together. For some reason they decided to maintain the outer tie rod position relative to the stub axle instead of the lower ball joint. This totally screws up the steering geometry. major bump steer issues, and the inner tie rods now hit the idler arm and pitman arm whenever I try to turn. Has anyone else run into this?
Got any pics?
