Outer tie rods seem to be at different angles. Is this of concern?

    Just wondering if these look ok and the fact they're seated at different angles matters?

    You're referring to the outer tie rods, correct?

    Thought so. Due to the type of joint and movement those tie rod ends have to deal with, I don't think it matters, especially for such a small difference between the two. Maybe someone who is well versed in steering linkage theory can chime in to confirm.
