i just did inner and outer tie rod replacement. i eye-balled everything without the wheels. my mistake. i torqued it all and set it down. my passenger side wheel has about 5* of toe-in. its really noticeable by eye.

i have a ~5 mile drive to the alignment. will this be far enough to do anything serious to the tire? i would go fix it, but im extremely beat after wrenching all day and just got cleaned up.

i can take a pic if it helps. my appointment is first thing tomorrow morning.
 
ok. i am just paranoid i guess. here is a picture anyways, you can kinda see it. maybe it is 10* toe-in. it is definately noticeable if you look at it.

the highest speed i hit going there is like 35. its a pretty short and slow drive. i just dont want to toast a new bfg kdw tire for 30 minutes of work, if it is necessary.
