Installing Tie Rod Ends
« on: December 23, 2013 - 10:31:55 PM »
This is probably a stupid question but I have had my front end apart for some time now and I'm finally putting it back together.  When assembling the tie rod ends, do you thread them in equally showing the same number of threads on both ends as a starting point?

That's what i would do. Until about half the threads are left showing. Then ball park the toe in with a tape measure.
