<VV> Tie Rod Ends

[Doug Mackintosh]

Hey guys & gals! I need some of that expert advice from the old pros and ASE certified guys about tie rods. I just finished aligning my front end and centering the steering wheel. When I was all done, I noticed that one tie rod is fairly close to its maximum length. I would estimate that I have about 0.8 inches of thread engaged between each tie rod end and the adjusting sleeve. My question is: How much thread engagement is required as a minimum? How do you know if you've gone too far?
   
  Thanks!
   
  PS - remember I am a sensitive guy, so make sure you don't say any mean things to me or you'll hurt my feelings.
