Hi there,

I am busy replacing all my tie rod ends as well as my steering damper on my PZJ70 cruiser.
When I removed my tie rod I measured it and it was 1213mm instead of the recommended length of 1267mm.

I then thought that perhaps my toe in was large so I measured the distance between the front end of the front tyres and the back end of the front tyres. Both measured exactly the same length. So no toe in or toe out.

Is this correct?
What should the difference be between front end and back end?
Should I adjust the tie rod to 1267mm or stay with 1213mm?
