Yes, tie rods are what you adjust to change the toe settings on the front of a vehicle.

Opt to get a 1 yr. unlimited mile warranty on the alignment if you go to a NTB, or comparable to our competitors.

RUCA wont screw your alignment nearly as much as putting in tie rod ends/tie rods..

get the align done, buy the 1 year align(79.99) and get it redone whan you install the other suspension peices :)-chet

RUCA will do a nice number on jacking your alignment. Any change in camber results in a change in toe on the rear of a 240. Not to mention you can't set them equal by eye.
