I suppose it could work, but I'd be very nervous about not being able to adequately torque the two halves together.I love that people ask stupid questions so I dont have.

It sure looks like you slide the lower knuckle too far onto the spline... There is a little groove that you should line up with the bolt hole. Did you push it on past the groove to the point of going past the splines on the shaft??
There is no such groove up top, but be sure you didn't slide up so far that the firewall and upper knuckle ever come in contact.

trying to get set up for a swap. Went to bma.com to try and find the spacers you got and it said they were unavailable. I guess i can just make something up but it would be cool to have them in hand especially at the price you got them for. I plan on using my e30 inner and outer tie rods on the e36 rack as they are in better shape. Great thread by the way!
