Moog tie rods

[sgtsandman]

Do the tie rod ends just affect the "toe" of the alignment? If you make good measurements and get the new ones back in the same position as the old ones you should be good?

They do but the best you can do is get close with out a rack. Some people mark the threads on the tie rod so they know where to stop spinning the new end on. The trick is that a 1/4 or 1/8 of a turn can make a significant difference. But it would be good enough to be able to drive the vehicle until you can get it to a shop and not have your tread eaten away before then.
