Tie Rod length adjustment and installation

[Menko <menkoj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,

After taking all the time to rebuild the whole suspension, I pulled
the tie rods off too and replaced them.  On measurement of the old
ones, I found the drivers side to be 14 1/4" long and the passenger an
even 14".  I pulled the old ends out of the sleeves and put the new
ones in to that same length as best I could.  Questions:

1--Should there be a difference in length?
2--How can I tell what the *right* length is?

I'd like to not have to pull them off again.  Now that I think of it,
I have a 64 Dart front K in my yard, I could go measure them and see.
I just didn't want to do this again!

Thanks

MJ
