    So I successfully uninstalled my bent LCA and inner and outter tie rod, yet I have a few questions for anyone who is willing to help. I am able to turn my right fromt wheel when my car is lifted off the ground. When i turn the right wheel, my left axel spins at the same time. Is this normal?

    Second question: Since i had to replace my whole inner and outter tie rod. How many rotations should i spin my outter tie rod before I tighten the nut?

    Thats normal. Enough to make it aligned close enough to make it to the alignment shop.

    Would it be ok... if I measured my right side inner/outer tie rod lug nut (since my right side rod's were never replaced or damaged) and match the distance to the lug nut on the left side (which is being replaced)?

    Thanks dsmuts!

    You can get it close but you have to get it aligned. There is no way around that.
