I posted this in a lesser travelled forum and got no response so i figured i'd give it a go here. Then I posted it in the 80-86 forum and didn't realize it until now so for the third time here's my question.
I've got a 94 F250 4x4 with the dana 50 front end, 4" lift and 35" tires. Is it possible to swap left and right outer tie rod ends and invert them to better align the steering system as a whole? The tie rod ends would upside down with the ball joint on top of the mount at the wheel instead of underneath it. The front anti-sway bar has already been removed and little difference was noticed in drivability so it will be staying off regardless. I can't find the website that put this idea into my head but i think it talked about doing it to a bronco, can't remember what year it was. Is this a good idea or even possible? I can't afford the superlift steering upgrade kit so I'm looking for some cheap (free or almost free) improvements.
Good thought,but the answer is no..the reason why is there is a taper into which the tie rod fits into. The taper will not allow you to move the tie rod above the knuckle arm.
