| My tie rods need replaced on my 65. On the left adjustable one I assume you just take it off and adjust the new one to the same length as old one. If the bus front end was aligned properly, camber fine prior to replacement will any front end adjustment need to be made after installing new tie rods? |

The only change in alignment from tie rod replacement would be toe-in. In theory, replacing the adjustable tie rod with one of the exact same length should result in no change to toe. However, reality is a bit different and you may be off a few mm in the adjustment and though you probably wouldn't notice any driving difference, for peace of mind you might have the alignment re-checked. |

| Check it yourself by measuring the distance between the front tires. Measure from the front of one tire to the other front, then measure the distance between the rear tires. The front distance should be 1/8 inch shorter for proper toe-in. |

| Yes, do set the toe-in, and adjust and grease the link pins. |
