Hey might get burned but here goes. I just got done doin 5 lug set up, and i used the s14 spindles for my front . I used the na for the rear of course. Now with the front i set it up put the wheels on and then I noticed that the wheels arent lined up .When one wheel is straight the other is cocked to the outside and vise versa ,my qustion is can i still use the stock inner and outer tie rod ends to adjust the toe out or would i need to use s14 inners and outers? I know the lower arms on s14 are a bit longer but i didnt think it would toss the toe off so much. Also i noticed a lil bit of play in one of the weel bearings is this normal or no good its slight but its there. Sorry i searched but didnt find any thing related to my problem . Your help is greatly appriciated thank you fine people.

I also have S14 front spindles, but I went with my stock S13 LCA's and pressed in S14 lower ball joints. All I ended up doing was adjusting the outer tie rods out a bit.
