Flipping track rod ends

Post by hsgnf »

After having absolutely no luck fitting my wheels I am considering flipping the tie rod ends before I finally have to give up and buy new wheels

Anybody know about or seen this>

Thanks in advance

Track rood ends should be tapered so you can't flip them.

the wheel should fit but it depends on the set in the wheel, most are towards the spokes.
