I ordered me a new tie rod assembly for my 89 and was hoping someone could tell me what their thread counts on all spots were so I can set it up just to go get an alignment. It's got a 4 inch lift if that makes a difference. I'm just going to put it together and count the threads from the joint to the lip of the rod if someone can help me out.

 

got my parts.. hope someone can at least give me an idea.

 

are you asking for the measurement from tre to tre?

 

get a tape measure......http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoAlignment.htm

 

last time i did this is when stuff started going out. i rebuilt my front end this time last year and did this idea. and now ive gotta do it all again. i was hoping i could just count threads to match someone elses to do a quick fix, just to get it to the shop for a legit alignment.

 

you still runnig factory steering just remove tie rod and measure from center to center and match the measurement with new rod

 

yes. i would do that. but this tie rod assembly is all out of whackkkk i guess i can do the measurement thing again just to get it to the shop.

 

with factory inverted y steering and different lifts this measurement changes one thing that can be done is count the turns it takes to remove the adjuster collar of then install same amount of turns on new rod

 

thats easyest way

 

okay. ill try it out. i cant wait to drive it. its been way too long
