the car will be fine; your only damage will be to the tires.
you measured total tie rod length and made sure the new rods are exactly that length before the installation, yes? otherwise... shoot for something like 1/8" to 1/16" total toe-in measured from front and back of the tires. if you're having the back aligned too, buy a selection of camber shims FIRST and have them with you - no normal alignment shop stocks 914 rear camber shims... |
