Thanks for clarifying. I tried to do some measuring and mapping to get my I.C. and I'm thinking I should go back and measure again. The numbers I got show that the ball joints are closer together than the inner arm pivot points, so the intersection point is outboard of the vehicle rather than inward. All of the diagrams I see show it the opposite way with the planes traveling closer together towards the center of the truck, not away from it. I'll go back and try again. Do you have any tips to measure some of the locations that can't be easily accessed? Laser level and a tape measure? From what I did see though, the tie rod is very similarly angled to both arms, but I'll try and map it out to see exactly.
