I got the new tie rod today. I think it is 1.25". When I mount it ontop of the knuckle, there is maybe 1/8" clearance between it and the spring. Roll with it? I dunno, I should probably just mount it under.

And just to be sure, it should go.....bolt head, misalignment bushing, heim, misalignment busing, knuckle, washer, nut.?????

how ghetto is it that I will now be running heims on the tie rod and TREs on the drag link?
