    i see, i remember a couple weeks back i think it was either hiatt or greg mentioned if i should flip them...didnt seem right to do
    then hiatt mentioned that my lca is pretty much at the same angle as the steering rod so i didnt bother touching it.

    I've driven a Tacoma with flipped tie rod ends. It bump steered until it almost killed me.

    Mine go from bottom up. The way it should be.

    I really don't know why they would seem high. Maybe just the camera angle?

    there should only be one correct way to install the tie rods to the steering arm/spindle just because of the taper on the arm
