Re: [DMCForum] Installation of ball joints

["id" <ionicdesign@xxxxxxxxxx>]

a ball joint is a ball joint, a tie rod is a tie rod, they are not the
same part. one pivots the spindle so it can turn left and right (ball
joints), the other hook's onto the spindle and makes it turn left and
right and is connected to the steering rack (tie rod).

hope this clears it up for you
