This shouldn't have been enough to make your alignment impossible, just not precise, are the LBJ cams mirroring each other, tie rods within 2mm centred, with the poly rack bushings you can be off when you centre the rack and tighten it down, I had to loosen mine up and try again when I did my bushings.

Is it a bad thing if my new tie rods aren't mirrored? they're definitely not centered... (about 2" of threading exposed on driver side while passenger is about 1/2")
was told "it isnt a problem, since its an old vehicle. it happened during alignment" but my passenger side tire hits the frame rail on the back when turned hard right, and driver side does not do the same when turned hard left. I think this is related? alignment has been done a few times and i've never been told it couldn't be achieved.
