Wouldn't recommend it in that form. Subaru guys tried it a few years ago and it resulted in many failures. Could have been the taper sizing or could have been material problems. IMO, the only way to do that design correction would be to bottom out the shoulder of the hex on the bottom side of the knuckle.

what is the ball joint taper angle on e46 spindles?

if i move the ball joint mount location off the spindle an inch how badly will that effect camber and scrub?
