Before I disassembled the tie rod for straightening, sandblasting and painting, I carefully measured the length of the tie rod with the ends still mounted in their original positions. The measurement was exactly 52 - 5/16" between the centers of the Zerk fittings.
When I mounted the new tie rod ends I used that same measurement and I have to believe that the toe-in setting will be very close to the factory specification. I plan to take it to a front end shop just to make sure the setting is perfect. How close will I be?
