Is this considered "really dangerous"
Ok so I did tie rods for a friend of mine, none of them were labeled L or R, both had the same part #. Any ways he took it to an alignment shop and they said it they are on backwards, which 100% they are but is that dangerous?
Really shouldn't change anything if you think about it, everything still works as it should.Maybe I am wrong, please let me know
Other then being aligned by hand the car drove without a hitch.
(how it should be)
(how i installed them, I knew it looked odd but with a full day of waiting for parts among other setback I must have forgot how they looked originally.)

If you can live with having something done 100% backwards then cool, run with it.
Is it super dangerous...probably not but I couldn't run it that way and sleep at night. They were designed with the angle for a reason I'm guessing.
In the pics you can see the angle of the tie rods are different, you'll most likely wear out the inners faster.

They are designed with a curve for a reason like someone else said. When working on suspension pieces or even brakes for that matter, its best to work on one side at a time so if you mess something up or are unsure of something, you can always look at the other side and figure it out.

Not an evo guys guess no one knows that there control arms are aluminum. not black steel. Doing one side at a time was not an option, had to pull the hubs to have new bearing pressed.
