Tie Rod Adjuster Sleeve
I need to adjust the front toe on my 72. As near as I can tell, one COMPLETE turn of the adjuster sleeve moves the tie rods in or out approximately 1/16 of an inch. Correct? Just looking for confirmation of my findings. Thanks.

Outer tie rod, adjuster sleeve, inner tie rod. Measured from grease fitting to grease fitting.Gave it one full turn. Backwards, forwards multiple times. Came up a smidge more than a 1/16".While sitting at my kitchen table. I do some of my best work sitting at my kitchen table.

One turn of one tie-rod-end, in or out should be 1/18 change
One turn of the sleeve (as it would be on the car with both ends fixed) should be twice as much (1/9)
But whatever you need is whatever you need.
