Re: [DML] Re: Steering rack boot installation

Joe,

It is my understanding that, so long as you put the tie rod end back
on in exactly the same place (same number of threads in), you do not
have to get another alignment. Measure with a caliper to be exact.

If I'm wrong, somebody correct me, because this was my plan.
