ALL NEW SUSPENTION, NEW TIRES, AND STILL WONDERS, HARD TO DRIVE ON FREEWAY.....

Hello Forum: This question is for my Grandsons 04 Colorado 4 dr Cab. He (16 yrs old) is in Oklahoma I'm in So. Calif. so that in it self is a problem for me to help him. He hit a curb (or that's the story he's telling,LOL) and now he and his father is repairing it. So far they have replaced both L&R sides Ball Joints & Tie Rod ends. They counted the number of turns for the tie rods inner & outer so when the new parts were installed it would be close. Well now they say one wheel turns much more outward then the other. Here's what I'm thinking that all replacement parts (tie rods) are not the same lengths so they may have thought they did it right by counting the turns too replace the new tie rods back in the same position but if the old ones were slightly longer or shorter then the newer ones that might be the problem for one wheel to be turned outward then the other one. * * * what do you all think? * * * DOES ANY ONE HAVE THE CORRECT LENGTHS "center to center" for the inner & outer tie rods or does one of you have a Good Back Yard Mechanics method for this problem? All is needed to get him closely aligned so he can get to an Alignment Shop which for them is 20 miles away. Thanks in advance for any advice. Hunters Grandfather aka Popa.
