i have taken the old tie rods off and getting ready to put the new ones on, is there a trick to getting them in somewhat the correct length in order to drive it to get an alignment done.

now that you took them off, you are pretty much SOL.....I always count the threads showing befre undoing them ahd have that many showing on the new ones. That is close enough to drive it safely.

What you will have to do now, is measure the track of the tires at the front of the tire and the back of the tire. The front should be 1/4-1/2 in less.
