That's what I thought also, but I still had the original inner rod end and measured them side by side and they are identical length. The over all length of the tie rod ends that were on the car, and what I have now is only about 1/2 inch difference (the old links are shorter) and there is alot of adjustment left. What really is driving me crazy more so than how to fix it, is what changed.
I seriously need a good 1 1/2" shorter over all length of the tie rods on each side to even get the wheels straight.
