By counting threads/measuring carefully can tie rods be replaced without realignment? This is on my 85 300D W123. If I take the old tie rods and assuming they are the same configuration as the new Moog replacements, can I swap in the new ones by a combination of measuring and counting threads carefully on the adjusting nuts?

Don't worry, I'm not that Cheap, I just want to wait for my new tires before I realign........
