Trying to Minimize Bumpsteer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

On my 72 I have an "old school" type drop on the front with stock spindles, stepped A arms, and drop springs. Downside to this (stock spindle) is I have too much bumpsteer for my liking.

Looking at it, it seems it would help quite a bit if I could flip the tie rod over on the spindle mounting point. I know that the spindle mounting hole and tie rod end stud are tapered and was wondering if anyone has ever messed around with this and had some "not too involved" success.
