Can an EK invert its stock tie rods?
I just had to replace my rack and pinion, and the mechanic wondered if my low ride height could have damaged the rack by the angle of the tie rods. The car's staying low, so, can I invert the tie rods and mount them from the bottom? Are the holes tapered from the top like on other cars?
I just replaced all the suspension pieces over the summer, and I didn't look to see if the EX knuckles were tapered or not. Thanks.

I believe hes asking if its tapered on the top and the bottom. I dont belive they are but am not 100% positive. There is a tie rod reamer tool that allows you to create that taper on the other side.

they are tapered to go in one way, as stated, its possible to make that taper from the other side, but persnally, i wouldnt suggest it.
