Originally posted by barza21 Hello, Recently I replaced my tie rods, but when I took the OEM ones off I didn't count the amount of turns the stock one had, so when I put the after market on it seems that it is affecting my toe. I have gone thru 4 set of tires in 3 weeks. I know it is not the camber because I lowered the car around two and a half months ago and had no iSsue with tire wear whatsoever. I have heard that toe kills tires, not camber, but just in case I bought a camber kit if it needs to be installed. My question that being said is: how many turns does a stock tie rod come adjusted to? 7,8,10,15 turns? I just need in a ballpark estimate. Thanks
Every tie rod is different man. Unfortunately, there is no 'specific' amount of turns. I however find it extremely odd that you have gone though 4 tires in 3 weeks. Obviously these arent new tires? Camber and Toe effect tire wear. Anything with the suspension/steering being out of spec will effect tire wear/pattern.
My only suggestion...bring your car and get a 4 wheel alignment.
