I have read here on a few post that different tie rod ends are needed for installing a manual rack. Why are they needed? Is it a different thread size or the lenght?

On my 93lx which was a 2.3 - 4 cylinder originally has these really long tie rod ends. I hope I can use these which are in perfect shape.

Manual ends are much shorter. If you swap to sn95 spindles the power ends are needed for the extra length.
