tie rod length a arm measurement

[fowler]

What is length of a stock tie rod? Also how do I measure my a arms to tell if they +2 or +3 etc? I have aftermarket a arms but not sure on the width and I need new tie rods so I need figure out what they are.

You will need 14 1/2" for +2 tie rods.

OK. How do you measure the a-arms to find out if you have +2 or stock. My a-arms are not stock but they don't look like +2 arms.

Can you post a picture of them, we might be able to at least tell you which brand they are. Take a tape measure and Measure the top arm, measure from center of ball joint to the a arm bolt. I have +2 arms and they measure about 13 1/2.
