Advice needed - Track rod end FF 182

[bigfella2]

I am in the process of changing both track rod ends on my FF 182. Before I did the passenger track rod end I measured 30mm of threads between the locking nut to the area where the threads stop, so I could roughly fit the new track rod end in the correct position (roughly). On the drivers side I got a bit excited and removed the rod end and moved the locking nut without measuring the threads, is it likely that there should be 30mm visible on drivers side? or would someone be kind enough to measure the threads visible for me? As I have to drive to the MOT station before I can even consider getting it tracked, so it would be nice to have the front wheels pointing in the correct direction. Cheers

It's not comparable between cars really as it's adjustable by its nature.
Just wind it on and eyeball the tracking, should be able get it close enough to drive few miles to a garage for tracking

I got mine fairly accurate using some string and some axel stands. Worth a shot just to get it driveable

Is there any guides or links that you recommend to show me how to do it?
