O.K., then I need to gripe at the idiot at Moog who wrote that and you're off the hook. The fact that they refer to the only tie rod on the car as an inner tie rod suggests that there is an outer tie rod, which there isn't.

It's like the guys who refer to normally aspirated. There is NO normally aspirated, there is only naturally aspirated and artificially aspirated.

You're right about running the control arms up and down without springs. You'll need to set up a dial indicator and observe steer of 0.060" or less through the range from full bump to full droop to keep yourself out of trouble.

Good luck and I applaud you for trying this. Let us know how it works out.
