Tie Rod Measurement
I pulled my steering apart to put on my Thuren Crossover steering and realized upon reassembly I didn't measure the knuckle to knuckle distance. I'm getting it aligned tomorrow but I want it to be somewhat close.
Can someone measure bolt center to bolt center distance on their tie rod for me so I can get this buttoned up.
Thanks in advance.

I dont think you need to worry about that as much as measuring the toe in on the tires. Put it together and measure the front and back centerline of the tires as high up as you can get. It should be about 1/8 to 3/16 narrower at the front center. That should get you close enough to get it aligned.
Hope I understood your problem right. G/L

I just didn't want to put the wheels back on because it will make it too had to get at the bolts because I have to put the stock tires and wheels back on since I ended up with 3 - 8 on 6.5 rims and 1 - 8 on 170mm rim so I have to wait until Tuesday to get the new new rim. I'll try to meaure on the rotor and see how close I can get it.
