Hey,

I just put some 72 Discs on my 65. After a lot of plumbing hassles, I got the system working.

Did I put the steering knuckles on the wrong side? There is very little clearance between my tie rods and my wheels now. I actually had to remove the zirk fittings because they were hitting the wheels (they were installed on the outboard side of the tie rod end).

Also, my toe is way off (right side is toed in a lot). Is that normal?

Is it possible to put the knuckles on the wrong side? It appeared to be impossible the way they are shaped.

Grease zerks on the outer tie rods should be pointing to the ground if they're pointing out (towards the wheel then those are the inner tie rod ends.
Tie rod ends should be forward of the spindle I dont see how you could put them on backwards.
Your calipers are on the back side of the rotor aren't they?(rear of spindle)
