How so? a few mm's will not make the car pull drastically to one side or the other

No, but if you have too much toe in or toe out, you will have bad tire wear. Get the alignment. I ruined a set of tires this way because I thought it was "close enough."

So much for getting forza horizon...

Waaahh, because e30.

On another note. My help for bleeding my front brakes is not showing up at a decent hour. Soooo, either get to bleed them in the dark if he shows up or i get to drive with a mushy pedal tomorrow. Glad to know who i can count on. Fucker...

What is this "buy" concept you speak of?

I just can't justify buying something like that I will use once maybe twice a year. And, I'm a cheap-ass. Because r3v taught me so.

Vacuum bleeding>pressure bleeding

Yes. You can get it close, but highly suggest it.

measure the length of your current tie rods, then make the new ones the same length. a few mms wont make a big difference

I got mine pretty much perfect with the "String method". It's worth a shot.

If I swap tie rod ends do I have to get an alignment then? I was told id need one.

Hey guys they have made this new invention, don't know if you guys have heard of it yet, it's called a tape measure and they do a pretty good job at measuring stuff. You can use them to measure your toe angle. I posted a picture below for reference.
