Back story, Installed lift and took vehicle in for alignment but because of rusted/seized jamb nut unable to do alignment L -1.21* R -1.01*

I will be installing new inner and outer tie rods this weekend how many turns in or out from my previous setting would get me closer to a measurement of plus or minus .10 by measuring my old tie rods?

New to this so just trying to get closer to recommended setting until I get it back in for a alignment, If I understand this correctly I should be able to measure my old tie rods and then set the new ones to the same measurement and then turn them X number of turns in/out in order to be more in the ball park of correct alignment. Yes/No and if yes how many turns?

Thanks

Just adjust it by eyeball. Lock the steering in the center and then adjust it in or out using the rear tire as a guide. It should be done with weight on the tire so a piece of hard plastic under the tire will help. You will be surprised how close you can get it with just looking at it

Thanks for the reply thought maybe some one would know if X number of turns would equal X number degrees of correction, Looks like I just try and eyeball it and hope for the best.

Eyeball or use a tape measure with the help of an assistant
