Whatever you do, do not just put a grade 8 bolt into a tapered hole. Heim joint rod ends, rod-end bearings, or whatever you prefer to call them, are the same thing. If for whatever reason you decide that you don't want to use the original bolt with a tapered end and need to use a grade 8 bolt, you need to drill/ream out the taper in the spindle and then most likely you will need to sleeve the hole to bring it down to size. Stating that your steering should be parallel with your lower control arm is very mis-leading, this may be the case in some situations but is not always the case. You also should not be flipping the side the pivot mounts to unless you have altered the steering or control arm location. The only reason that you would even use it spaced down is if you have moved your steering or your control arm mounts.
