Hey Dan, not wanting to upset you after setting yourself up with replacements and spares. The originals used a machined tie rod adapter to correct bump steer and get the right length. I was just looking at another CCX with gobby (technical AWS terminology) welds with holes and undercut into the tie rod and they still weren't made the correct length. I figured why not do something like what they used originally. I just tried my latest solution to this problem on the car and it's looking good. The best part about it is there is no heat effect on the tie rods temper and there is no welding on steering components. Utilising a modified coupling nut and a short length of threaded 4140 the result is pictured.
Dan check the adjustment on the ball tension and make sure you don't have those too tight stressing the end. Remember you getting rid of your front end shake when they were too loose.
