Bent tie rod!

Does anyone know if a bent tie rod end would throw the wheel base out an inch? I wouldn't think it would cause that much of a difference but I don't know. I put a corvette front in my 54 and it has 116 1/2 on one side and 117 1/2 one the other. The side with less is the bent side. If you measure to the lower ball joint you get to same measurement from both sides.

Re: Bent tie rod!

There are! I will check into that when I get back out to the truck. Thank you for the suggestion. I bought a new tie rod to so maybe after taking care of both of those it will fix hopefully.
