Default Re: tie rod hitting the front radius rods

so-cal type hairpins are one $olution, the tie rod will then pass between the rods of the hairpin, and it has the lower shock mount cast into it also. i have seen some dropped axle spindles steering arms heated and bent to pass over the top of the stock wishbone, but then the tie rod can hit the frame during a hard bump, if you are also using a reversed eye spring. and a lowered front crossmember makes it even worse.
as mentioned previous, chassis engineering makes a nice pair of forged dropped bolt on steering arms that will pass under the wishbone.
