    Inner tie rod Issues

    I have a 2002 Mustang GT with a stock inner tie rod. As i replaced one that recently broke i noticed when i was done that the wheel had toe pointing the tire outward about a half an inch or so. I used the DANA tie rod. Any suggestions? I counted the turns when putting the outer tie rod back on too. There should have been no issue.

    Measure it up, get it to about 1/8 toe in and take it to get aligned.
