Doing z32 inner/outer tie rod swap, stock as you can see, i'm just wondering if it's ok for it to bolt on like that? obviously the ball joints are different and it won't go through, but then i'm wondering if it's ok to do so, my car's lowered, probably 1.5 inches, i know adj. tie rod ends you have the adjustment spacers i believe? so I'm kind of assuming this might be good weird ghetto way for some bump steer correction? trying to get my alignment done today.

-now i'm assuming that you can only use the stock z32 inner tie rod and not the stock z32 outter tie rod ends

just test fitting it, haven't completely put it on, trying to see if this'll work or if i just need just wait and buy some aftermarket tie rod ends.

You cannot use stock Z32 outer tie rod ends on the S chassis spindle, not unless you want to ream out the spindle taper. Our tie rod ends are specifically designed to be used with the Z32 inner tie rods and S chassis spindle, you cannot bolt on the Z32 inner tie rods with any other tie rod ends...

unless you bore out the hole in the knuckle, it ain't gonna happen. only z32 inners will work. listen to kuah
