You must mean the SWORDY-designed Tie Rods that Matt over at Indy COPPIED!!!

Ive had a similar SWORDY set for years....

Heres the problem....the joints that both aftermarket used DO NOT HAVE THE SAME ANGLE capabilities as the stock OEM units....This means they BIND under full droop!!!!They Bind Bad enough to bend the Tie Rod end joints and also the idler arm bolt-shaft

Big Swede hads had problems with this also....
