I cranked the torsion bars on my truck and now because of that the tie rods are on steep angles, and the steering ratio or whatever the correct term is has changed, does anyone know if i can put the tie-rod in from the top of the holder rather than the factory up from the bottom, this would help level the tie rods and help my steering i would think. Or is their a kit that will level them out?
thanks

I don't think you can put it in from the top because it is a tapered hole. I think this is just the down fall of a leveling kit. I'm in the same boat:mad:.

I thought about drilling it out from the top side just enough for it to seat in, and maby put a bushing to fill the gap in the bottom side if needed.It should work but i havent had the guts to do it yet.
