I was wondering if it was possible to mount the arm on top with drilling out the hole a little bit bigger for the tapered bolt to fit through for less issues with full-flex steering?

Why?

Not concerned about it binding on compression?

sure it's not the CV binding?

here's an idea, get lockers & stop chasing needless flex. :wink:

I love flex

Trying to make the most out of the control arms. Might be the CV's.
I have new steering rods and will take it into the alignment place to see what they can do when they fit them.

U will have massive bump steer
If they are binding u could drill out the taper to suite 80 tre
U then will need to machine new long adjuster nuts that join the steering arms together

Also I found out that anything about a 28.5" (Total Dia) tyre on my GV isn't legal

- According to Tyrepower
And I am about to buy some 31's

Yep bumpsteer will go up. Might be a small change in a straight line but a bumpy windy road will be terrible.
