Adjusting Inner Tie Rods To Fix Toe-in
longer tie rod = more toe-in
shorter tie rod = more toe-out
Just one thing to point out is when you make these measurements and adjustments, make sure the car is 100% on the ground with something under the wheels that will allow them to pivot.
Also, when you set the car on the ground make sure to give the car a few good shakes on each corner to make sure the suspension has settled. There's a reason alignments are done on a 4 post alignment lift that you drive up onto and not a 2 post lift where the tires leave the ground. The reason for this is the car's suspension geometry is totally different from when it's sitting on the ground compared to when it's lifted off the ground and all the suspension components are stretched out. Aligning the vehicle with the wheels off the ground can and more than likely will throw off your alignment.
