Are inner tie rods the same size on both sides? - 12/13/21 09:59 PM
Hi,
I have a 1956 Bel air 4 door sedan with a 6 cylinder automatic.
I have a question about inner and outer tie rod ends.
Both of the tie rod sleeves measure the same.
Should both inner tie rods measure the same length?
Should both outer tie rods measure the same length?
I just rebuilt my front end and did an alignment in my garage. I can actually drive down the street and the car tracks straight but will drift ever so slightly after a period of time., nothing major though.
I brought the car in to have a professional alignment and they said they can't adjust the passenger side outer tie rod in far enough and that the car has too much toe. Can't you just adjust the inner rod in to compensate for that?
I see that they adjusted the passenger side outer tie rod end in as far as it would go, but they still couldn't make it work.
I am a little confused here because everything I took off the car matched up to the new parts length wise. I put new inner and outer tie rods on and reused the old sleeves.
Any ideas?
