when you flip the tie rods upside down, do you have to do the lower ball joint also to keep the wheels in alignment at all psi heights. because my tie rods & lower arms are no longer parallel so wheels are aligned at ride height only and way out when down.

nissan pathfinder, but the problem would be the same with anthing that has a downward facing lower balljoint and tie rod.

i ground out the hole on the spindle to bolt it in from the bottom.
heim jointing them wont help because it still will be changing the pivot point,which is what i already did.

the truck has 10" suspension drop with no drop spindles and the tie rods are maxin out stoppin me from going any further.

if you flip them you can cause the toe to change dramatically.

this is my problem.but if i find a way to flip the lower ball joint will it compensate for this by making the tie rod & lower arm parallel again.

or should i put the tie rod back where it was and put a Z in it?

i think hardbody spindles fit and would stop the binding plus give you more drop that your after
