    By editing your original post it makes the reply meaningless and confusing. A better way is to "Reply" to the thread, adding information, and continuing the discussion. My reply to your question, which was "Can I switch sides of the Ranger spindles to convert to rear steer?", did not say it would not work, only that you need to heat and bend the steering arms to correct the akerman angle. With front steer the end points will be biased outboard, and with rear steer you simply need to bend them inboard to align the geometry. I cannot comment on where to mount compents to shift to front steer without changing the clip.
