  i just put some new belltech drop spindles on my 99 f150.  so now i have the djm upper and lowers and the spindles on 22's.  anyways these new spindles have the balljoint setup to go in upside down compared to the original spindle.  normally the balljoint would have the threads go in the top and point to the bottom.  now they go in thru the bottom and the threads point up.  didnt think to much of it at the time i put them on.  now i've taken it off the lift and layed it out.  because this balljoint is upside down now, it slightly throws the angle of the tie rod off.  it seems to throw the tow out way more now when it lays out.  im thinking about flipping them back to the way they went on the original spindle.  what can i use to ream the spindle?  and once its reamed, what do i have to get the tie rod to tighten down since the hole in the spindle wont be tapered?   any help or advice would be appreciated.  thanks

THATS ODD IVE INSTALLED A SET ON A LIGHTNING AND THE BALL JOINTS INSTALL THE SAME AS STOCK (POINTING DOWN) THE ONLY THING THAT IS FLIPPED IS THE TIEROD AND THAT IS DESIGNED TO HELP WITH BUMPSTEER HIT UP THE BELLTECH TECH DEPT AND THEYLL BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT BETTER
