Had to replace one of the tie rod ends and found different lengths on a few USA parts. Not sure what I had on there (vw maybe) but length between threaded end and center of bolt was 3.25". The new moog Euro spec is 3.0" which is shorter. Does anyone have an oem tie rod end around that can please post oem length?

It has to do with if they are early or late offset cars. '86 and earlier have shorter tierods; '87 and later have longer tierods.
