flipping tie rods
on my 1995 civic dx coupe that's lowered about 31/2in to 4ins on 17 rims so my steering geometry is a bit outta wack so as u can imagine ride quality is **** so I wanted to correct the geometry by getting the tie rods to sit more level instead of at a sevear angle and I want to change the way they get mounted to the steering knuckle by copying the 1993 honda accord has its tie rods I wanted to know if it is possible or if its a good idea to mount the tie rods to the steering knuckle with the castle nut pointing up to the skygoing instead of them pointing to the floor the way the accords are setup anyfeed back would be helpful

Re: flipping tie rods
Ride quality is **** because you’re on 17s with most likely rubber bands for tires and you’re dropped too low.
Are you banging your UCAs or did you clearance the shock towers?
What suspension setup are you running?

Re: flipping tie rods
I think K tuned? makes a bumpsteer kit with special bolts for the taper. It drops the tie rods down.
But why would that affect ride quality?
