VR6 lhs tie rod measurement?

[kevn 0]

After recently fitting a new steering rack to my sons VR6 i am having problems getting the tracking sorted.

 

I fitted the tie rods roughly in the same position they came off, but i have run out of adjustment on the offside rod!

 

Anyone know the lhs tie rod measurement for a VR6, also is it best to ignore the steering wheel position and adjust that after adjusting tracking?

406.0mm +/- 1mm.

 

From the centre of the ball joint to the rack side of the bulbous end flange, at it's face edge where it joins the smaller threaded stubby shaft part, not the very end. And not the first step down from the max diameter of the bulbous end flange.

 

This is fixed once set to the above dimension. Adjust only the RHside tie rod to adjust track.

 

From what I remember years ago doing it, it's not accurately possible when its fitted.
