Hi Guys,
After destroying my tie rod and tie rod ends what is the best way to adjust so as to get optimum squareness of my tyres? Any advice would be appreciated
Cheers

I have found round tyres work much better.

No seriously, measure the distance between opposing tyres, from the front/leading edge of the tyre and do the same at the rear edge of the tyre.

Get this as close to the same as possible. then drive it somehwre and get a wheel allignment.
